Inhibition of ras-induced oocyte maturation by peptides from ras-p21 and GTPase activating protein (GAP) identified as being effector domains from molecular dynamics calculations.

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.
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 accompanying article, using molecular dynamics calculations, we found that the 66-77 and 122-138 domains in ras-p21 and the 821-827, 832-845, 917-924, 943-953, and 1003-1020 domains in GAP have different conformations in complexes of GAP with wild-type and oncogenic ras-p21. We have now synthesized peptides corresponding to each of these domains and coinjected them into oocytes with oncogenic p21, which induces oocyte maturation, or injected them into oocytes incubated with insulin that induces maturation by activating wild-type cellular ras-p21. We find that all of these peptides inhibit both agents but do not inhibit progesterone-induced maturation that occurs by a ras-independent pathway. The p21 66-77 and 122-138 peptides cause greater inhibition of oncogenic p21. On the other hand, the GAP 832-845 and 1003-1021 peptides inhibit insulin-induced maturation to a significantly greater extent. Since we have found that activated wild-type and oncogenic p21 activate downstream targets like raf differently, these GAP peptides may be useful probes for identifying elements unique to the wild-type ras-p21 pathway.
