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 regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins were initially characterized as inhibitors of signal transduction cascades initiated by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) because of their ability to increase the intrinsic GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G proteins. This GTPase accelerating protein (GAP) activity enhances G protein deactivation and promotes desensitization. However, in addition to this signature trait, emerging data have revealed an expanding network of proteins, lipids, and ions that interact with RGS proteins and confer additional regulatory functions. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of the physiological functions of one subfamily of RGS proteins with a high degree of homology (B/R4) gleaned from recent studies of knockout mice or cells with reduced RGS expression. We also discuss some of the newly appreciated interactions of RGS proteins with cellular factors that suggest RGS control of several components of G-protein-mediated pathways, as well as a diverse array of non-GPCR-mediated biological responses.
