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

Purinergic P2X receptors have a wide distribution within the body and modulate a number of physiological processes, being also involved in the development and progression of inflammation-, neuroinflammation-, neurodegeneration-, and cancer-related diseases. Radioligands that can detect specific P2X receptor subtypes and reveal their level of expression are of key importance for the development of novel P2X modulators, for the depiction of the involvement of these proteins in physio-pathological processes, and for the availability of novel diagnostic tools to be used for imaging experiments in vivo. Here we review and summarise the various P2X-targeting radioligands developed and reported to date, ranging from analogues of the endogenous P2X agonist ATP to the more recent and P2X subtype-selective allosteric modulators. Many of the high-affinity radioligands described are only suitable as in vitro receptor probes. No viable P2X3 or P2X4 radioligands for in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging have been developed and reported to date. However, P2X7 antagonists, such as [
