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

We combined fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) beam-size analysis with biochemical assays to investigate the mechanisms of membrane recruitment and activation of phospholipase C-beta(2) (PLCbeta(2)) by G protein alpha(q) and betagamma dimers. We show that activation by alpha(q) and betagamma differ from activation by Rac2 and from each other. Stimulation by alpha(q) enhanced the plasma membrane association of PLCbeta(2), but not of PLCbeta(2)Delta, which lacks the alpha(q)-interacting region. Although alpha(q) resembled Rac2 in increasing the contribution of exchange to the FRAP of PLCbeta(2) and in enhancing its membrane association, the latter effect was weaker than with Rac2. Moreover, the membrane recruitment of PLCbeta(2) by alpha(q) occurred by enhancing PLCbeta(2) association with fast-diffusing (lipid-like) membrane components, whereas stimulation by Rac2 led to interactions with slow diffusing membrane sites. On the other hand, activation by betagamma shifted the FRAP of PLCbeta(2) and PLCbeta(2)Delta to pure lateral diffusion 3- to 5-fold faster than lipids, suggesting surfing-like diffusion along the membrane. We propose that these different modes of PLCbeta(2) membrane recruitment may accommodate contrasting functional needs to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP(2)) in localized versus dispersed populations. PLCbeta(2) activation by Rac2, which leads to slow lateral diffusion and much faster exchange, recruits PLCbeta(2) to act locally on PtdInsP(2) at specific domains. Activation by alpha(q) leads to lipid-like diffusion of PLCbeta(2) accompanied by exchange, enabling the sampling of larger, yet limited, areas prior to dissociation. Finally, activation by betagamma recruits PLCbeta(2) to the membrane by transient interactions, leading to fast "surfing" diffusion along the membrane, sampling large regions for dispersed PtdInsP(2) populations.
