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

Multisite phosphorylation is a common form of posttranslational protein regulation which has been used to increase the switchlike behavior of the protein response to increasing kinase concentrations. In this letter, we show that the switchlike response of multisite phosphoproteins is strongly enhanced by nonessential phosphorylation sites, a mechanism that is robust to parameter changes and easily implemented in nature. We obtained analytic estimates for the Hill exponent (or coefficient) of the switchlike response, and we observed that a tradeoff exists between the switch and the kinase threshold for activation. This also suggests a possible evolutionary mechanism for the relatively large numbers of phosphorylation sites found in various proteins.
