1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Endothelin receptor is a good model for analysis of the function of heptahelical G-protein coupled receptor. In ligand binding to the heptahelical receptor, the receptor has two functions, i.e. 'message' and 'address' functions. Each function has been assigned to different domain of the receptor. A different part of the ligand structure also corresponds to each domain of the receptor. Classically, classification of receptor has been done according to the difference of address domain, i.e. affinity difference of the receptor. However, present results predict that the classification of receptor is also possible according to the message domain. After stimulation of ET receptor by a ligand, the receptor transmits a signal to G-protein. Several kinds of G-proteins can possibly be activated. Different structural domains of the receptor are assigned to the coupling of the different Galpha-protein. Activated G-protein transmits the message to effector. Each Galpha-protein acts on different target molecules, resulting in different responses. However, the activation of each Galpha-protein presumably depends on its intracellular level. Even if the same receptor is activated with the same ligand, resulting final response is different from cell to cell. Therefore, classification of receptor according to the function of the receptor is difficult.
