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

In the mitogenic signaling cascade interaction of Ras with Raf represents a critical step for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. The major effector of Ras, the serine/threonine kinase Raf exists as three isoforms with different tissue distributions. We demonstrate that transient transfection of oncogenic Ha-Ras leads to a preferential activation of endogenous c-Raf-1 in HEK 293 cells as opposed to A-Raf. In vitro binding studies using purified Ras binding domains of Raf as well as in vivo bindings tests with full length molecules reveals significantly lower binding affinities of A-Raf to Ha-Ras as compared to other Raf isoforms. The Ras-binding interface of c-Raf differs from A-Raf by a conservative Arg to Lys exchange at residue 59 or 22 respectively. Mutational analysis reveals that this residue represents a point of isozyme discrimination: c-Raf-R59K binds Ha-Ras weaker than the wildtype, likewise A-Raf-K22R increases its affinity to Ha-Ras in vivo and in vitro. Differential binding affinities are reflected in downstream signaling. Immunecomplex kinase assays reveal that Ha-Ras mediated Raf activation is decreased for c-Raf-R59K and increased for A-Raf-K22R when compared to the respective wildtype forms. Thus our observations introduce a new level of isoform discrimination in Ras/Raf signaling as a functional consequence of a conservative amino acid exchange in the Ras binding domains.
