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

After activation, many receptors and their adaptor proteins act as scaffolds displaying numerous docking sites and engaging multiple targets. The consequent assemblage of a variety of protein complexes results in a combinatorial increase in the number of feasible molecular species presenting different states of a receptor-scaffold signaling module. Tens of thousands of such microstates emerge even for the initial signal propagation events, greatly impeding a quantitative analysis of networks. Here, we demonstrate that the assumption of independence of molecular events occurring at distinct sites enables us to approximate a mechanistic picture of all possible microstates by a macrodescription of states of separate domains, i.e., macrostates that correspond to experimentally verifiable variables. This analysis dissects a highly branched network into interacting pathways originated by protein complexes assembled on different sites of receptors and scaffolds. We specify when the temporal dynamics of any given microstate can be expressed using the product of the relative concentrations of individual sites. The methods presented here are equally applicable to deterministic and stochastic calculations of the temporal dynamics. Our domain-oriented approach drastically reduces the number of states, processes, and kinetic parameters to be considered for quantification of complex signaling networks that propagate distinct physiological responses.
