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

Nuclear Dbf2p-related (NDR) kinases and associated proteins are recognized as a conserved network that regulates eukaryotic cell polarity. NDR kinases require association with MOB adaptor proteins and phosphorylation of two conserved residues in the activation segment and hydrophobic motif for activity and function. We demonstrate that the Neurospora crassa NDR kinase COT1 forms inactive dimers via a conserved N-terminal extension, which is also required for the interaction of the kinase with MOB2 to generate heterocomplexes with basal activity. Basal kinase activity also requires autophosphorylation of the COT1-MOB2 complex in the activation segment, while hydrophobic motif phosphorylation of COT1 by the germinal center kinase POD6 fully activates COT1 through induction of a conformational change. Hydrophobic motif phosphorylation is also required for plasma membrane association of the COT1-MOB2 complex. MOB2 further restricts the membrane-associated kinase complex to the hyphal apex to promote polar cell growth. These data support an integrated mechanism of NDR kinase regulation in vivo, in which kinase activation and cellular localization of COT1 are coordinated by dual phosphorylation and interaction with MOB2.
