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

The Rab family of GTPases contains over 60 genes in the human genome and contributes to regulation of intracellular membrane trafficking along endocytic and exocytic pathways as well as specialized pathways in specific cell types. It has become increasingly clear that disruption of the intracellular membrane trafficking system at different stages can cause various diseases. In the past decade, altered expression levels and mutations of Rab GTPases have been associated with such diseases as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and various genetic disorders. This review discusses the specific Rab GTPases and their involvement in the diseases.
