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

Members of the highly conserved Arf family of small GTPases serve as master regulators of vesicular transport. In yeast, Arf1 acts at the Golgi and trans-Golgi network (TGN) to recruit vesicular coat proteins and other effectors for both anterograde and retrograde transport. Arf1 is activated at the TGN by Sec7, the founding member of the Sec7 family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and a close homolog of the human ARFGEF2 implicated in congenital defects in cerebral cortex development. Through the use of purified Sec7 in biochemical assays, we recently discovered that autoinhibition of Sec7 is relieved by stable recruitment to lipid membranes by activated Arf1. This interaction is mediated by a conserved domain proximal to, but not including, the GEF domain, creating a positive feedback loop in the activation of Arf1 at the TGN. We further demonstrated that this stable interaction with Arf1 plays a role in localizing Sec7 to the TGN. We elaborate here on the implications of these results to small GTPase-mediated cellular processes and coincidence detection models of GEF localization.
