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

PDZ domains are found in many signaling proteins. One of their functions is to provide scaffolds for forming membrane-associated protein complexes by binding to the carboxyl termini of their partners. PDZ domains are thought also to play a signal transduction role by propagating the information that binding has occurred to remote sites. In this study, a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation-based approach, referred to as an interaction correlation analysis, is applied to the PDZ2 domain to identify the possible signal transduction pathways. A residue correlation matrix is constructed from the interaction energy correlations between all residue pairs obtained from the MD simulations. Two continuous interaction pathways, starting at the ligand binding pocket, are identified by a hierarchical clustering analysis of the residue correlation matrix. One pathway is mainly localized at the N-terminal side of helix alpha1 and the adjacent C-terminus of loop beta1-beta2. The other pathway is perpendicular to the central beta-sheet and extends toward the side of PDZ2 domain opposite to the ligand binding pocket. The results complement previous studies based on multiple sequence analysis, NMR, and MD simulations. Importantly, they reveal the energetic origin of the long-range coupling. The PDZ2 results, as well as the earlier rhodopsin analysis, show that the interaction correlation analysis is a robust approach for determining pathways of intramolecular signal transduction.
