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

In this study, we investigated on a systems level how complex protein interactions underlying cell polarity in yeast determine the dynamic association of proteins with the polar cortical domain (PCD) where they localize and perform morphogenetic functions. We constructed a network of physical interactions among >100 proteins localized to the PCD. This network was further divided into five robust modules correlating with distinct subprocesses associated with cell polarity. Based on this reconstructed network, we proposed a simple model that approximates a PCD protein's molecular residence time as the sum of the characteristic time constants of the functional modules with which it interacts, weighted by the number of edges forming these interactions. Regression analyses showed excellent fitting of the model with experimentally measured residence times for a large subset of the PCD proteins. The model is able to predict residence times using small training sets. Our analysis also revealed a scaffold protein that imposes a local constraint of dynamics for certain interacting proteins.
