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

purposeThe Dok proteins represent a family of adaptor proteins serving as common substrates for protein tyrosine kinases and play an important role in regulating signal transduction in multiple cell functions. Dimerization of Dok proteins may represent a powerful and flexible regulatory mechanism that can achieve a variety of consequences. This study aims to detect the homo- or hetero-association of Doks in living cells. PROCEDURE: The transfection of CFP or YFP fusion protein constructs was carried out using lipofectamine 2000. FRET Measurements were performed using three-channel microscopy and Spectroscopy.

resultsBy using fluorescence resonance energy transfer technology, we demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, that Dok5 and Dok1 could form homomeric and heteromeric associations in living cells. Moreover, pleckstrin homology (PH) domain was found to be essential for homomeric associations of Dok5, while PH domain and phosphotyrosine binding domain were found to be crucial for homomeric associations of Dok1 or heteromeric associations between Dok1 and Dok5.

conclusionThe mechanisms underlying Doks' association may benefit the further understanding of the important role of Dok proteins in regulating signal transduction activated by tyrosine kinases.
