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

Receptor-induced targeting of exchange factors to specific cellular membranes is the predominant mechanism for initiating and compartmentalizing signal transduction by Ras GTPases. The exchange factor RasGRP1 has a C1 domain that binds the lipid diacylglycerol and thus can potentially mediate membrane localization in response to receptors that are coupled to diacylglycerol-generating phospholipase Cs. However, the C1 domain is insufficient for targeting RasGRP1 to the plasma membrane. We found that a basic/hydrophobic cluster of amino acids within the plasma membrane-targeting domain of RasGRP1 is instead responsible for plasma membrane targeting. This basic/hydrophobic cluster binds directly to phospholipid vesicles containing phosphoinositides via electrostatic interactions with polyanionic phosphoinositide headgroups and insertion of a tryptophan into the lipid bilayer. B cell antigen receptor ligation and other stimuli induce plasma membrane targeting of RasGRP1 by activating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway, which generates phosphoinositides within the plasma membrane. Direct detection of phosphoinositides by the basic/hydrophobic cluster of RasGRP1 provides a novel mechanism for coupling and co-compartmentalizing phosphoinositide 3-kinase and Ras signaling and, in coordination with diacylglycerol detection by the C1 domain, gives RasGRP1 the potential to serve as an integrator of converging signals from the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and phospholipase C pathways.
