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

Recent work on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) has highlighted the importance of homo- and heterodimerization in all areas of GPCR function, including trafficking, signaling and desensitization. Novel GPCR dimers and even high-order oligomers are constantly being discovered. Advances in techniques such as fluorescent microscopy have improved our ability to detect these interactions. As GPCRs represent the largest class of transmembrane signaling molecules in biology, these new insights into their function could vastly improve our understanding of the complex physiological role GPCRs play in cellular signaling. Utilizing a combination of classic biochemical approaches and newer techniques such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF), we recently demonstrated a novel interaction between M(2) muscarinic receptors and GABA(B) receptors. In this addendum, we address technical aspects of combining FRET and TIRF to study GPCR interactions and further discuss the physiological implications of the M(2)-GABA(B) heterodimer.
