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

Alterations in signalling due to bidirectional transactivation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are well established. Transactivation significantly diversifies signalling networks within a cell and has been implicated in promoting both advantageous and disadvantageous physiological and pathophysiological outcomes, making the GPCR/RTK interactions attractive new targets for drug discovery programmes. Transactivation has been observed for a plethora of receptor pairings in multiple cell types; however, the precise molecular mechanisms and signalling effectors involved can vary with receptor pairings and cell type. This short review will discuss the recent applications of proximity-based assays, such as resonance energy transfer and fluorescence-based imaging in investigating the dynamics of GPCR/RTK complex formation, subsequent effector protein recruitment and the cellular locations of complexes in living cells.
