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

The yeast protein Pan1p plays essential roles in actin cytoskeleton organization and endocytosis. It couples endocytosis with actin polymerization through its dual function in endocytic complex assembly and activation of the actin polymerization initiation complex Arp2/3p. Phosphorylation of Pan1p and other components of the endocytic complex by the kinase Prk1p leads to disassembly of the coat complex and the termination of vesicle-associated actin polymerization. A homologous kinase, Ark1p, has also been implicated in this regulatory process. In this study, we investigated the distinct roles of Prk1p and Ark1p. We found that the nonkinase domains determined the functional specificity of the two kinases. A short region located adjacent to the kinase domain unique to Prk1p was found to be required for the kinase to interact with Arp2p. Further studies demonstrated that the Prk1p-Arp2p interaction is critical for down-regulation of Pan1p. These findings reveal that, in addition to its role in the nucleation of actin polymerization, Arp2p also mediates what appears to be an auto-regulatory mechanism possibly adapted for efficient coordination of actin assembly and disassembly during endocytosis.
