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

Heterotrimeric G proteins typically transduce signals from G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to effector proteins. In the conventional G protein signaling paradigm, the G protein is located at the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane, where, after activation by an agonist-bound GPCR, the GTP-bound Gα and free Gβγ bind to and regulate a number of well-studied effectors, including adenylyl cyclase, phospholipase Cβ, RhoGEFs and ion channels. However, research over the past decade or more has established that G proteins serve non-canonical roles in the cell, whereby they regulate novel effectors, undergo activation independently of a GPCR, and/or function at subcellular locations other than the plasma membrane. This review will highlight some of these non-canonical aspects of G protein signaling, focusing on direct interactions of G protein subunits with cytoskeletal and cell adhesion proteins, the role of G proteins in cell division, and G protein signaling at diverse organelles.
