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

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of membrane receptors and are responsible for regulating a wide variety of physiological processes. This is accomplished via ligand binding to GPCRs, activating associated heterotrimeric G proteins and intracellular signaling pathways. G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), in concert with β-arrestins, classically desensitize receptor signal transduction, thus preventing hyperactivation of GPCR second-messenger cascades. As changes in GRK expression have featured prominently in many cardiovascular pathologies, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, hypertension, and cardiac hypertrophy, GRKs have been intensively studied as potential diagnostic or therapeutic targets. Herein, we review our evolving understanding of the role of GRKs in cardiovascular pathophysiology.
