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

Presynaptic inhibition via G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels constitutes a widespread regulatory mechanism of synaptic strength. Yet, the mechanism of intermolecular coupling underlying GPCR-mediated signaling at central synapses remains unresolved. Using FRET spectroscopy, we provide evidence for formation of spatially restricted (<100 Å) complexes between GABA(B) receptors composed of GB(1a)/GB(2) subunits, Gα(o)β(1)γ(2) G-protein heterotrimer, and Ca(V)2.2 channels in hippocampal boutons. GABA release was not required for the assembly but for structural reorganization of the precoupled complex. Unexpectedly, GB(1a) deletion disrupted intermolecular associations within the complex. The GB(1a) proximal C-terminal domain was essential for association of the receptor, Ca(V)2.2 and Gβγ, but was dispensable for agonist-induced receptor activation and cAMP inhibition. Functionally, boutons lacking this complex-formation domain displayed impaired presynaptic inhibition of Ca(2+) transients and synaptic vesicle release. Thus, compartmentalization of the GABA(B1a) receptor, Gβγ, and Ca(V)2.2 channel in a signaling complex is required for presynaptic inhibition at hippocampal synapses.
