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

Arf family GTP-binding proteins function in the regulation of membrane-trafficking events and in the maintenance of organelle structure. They act at membrane surfaces to modify lipid composition and to recruit coat proteins for the generation of transport vesicles. Arfs associate with membranes through insertion of an N-terminal myristoyl moiety in conjunction with an adjacent amphipathic alpha-helix, which embeds in the lipid bilayer when Arf1 is GTP-bound. In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Lundmark et al. report that myristoylated Arfs in the presence of GTP bind to and cause tubulation of liposomes, and that GTP exchange on to Arfs is more efficient in the presence of liposomes of smaller diameter (increased curvature). These findings suggest that Arf protein activation and membrane interaction may initiate membrane curvature that will be enhanced further by coat proteins during vesicle formation.
