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

Estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) are orphan nuclear receptors critical to the regulation of energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and tissue-specific transcriptional programs. This review provides a comprehensive structural analysis of ERR isoforms (ERRα, ERRβ, and ERRγ), emphasizing insights from X-ray crystallography and NMR studies. We discuss the ligand-binding domains (LBDs), coactivator and corepressor interactions, and the molecular mechanisms underlying ligand-induced agonism or antagonism. Structural comparisons with estrogen receptors (ERs) reveal key amino acid determinants for ligand selectivity and functional activity. Furthermore, we highlight the development of isoform-selective synthetic ligands, including inverse agonists such as GSK5182, DN200434, and DN201000, with therapeutic potential in metabolic, neurodegenerative, and oncologic diseases. This synthesis of structural data provides a framework for rational drug design targeting ERRs, supporting the development of selective modulators to manipulate ERR signaling in a tissue- and disease-specific manner.
