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

Protein kinases may function more like variable rheostats rather than two-state switches. However, we lack approaches to properly analyze this aspect of kinase-dependent regulation. To address this, we develop a strategy in which a kinase inhibitor is identified using genetics-based screens, kinase mutations that confer resistance are characterized, and dose-dependent responses of isogenic drug-sensitive and resistant cells to inhibitor treatments are compared. This approach has the advantage that function of wild-type kinase, rather than mutants, is examined. To develop this approach, we focus on Ark1, the fission yeast member of the conserved Aurora kinase family. Applying this approach reveals that proper chromosome compaction in fission yeast needs high Ark1 activity, while other processes depend on significantly lower activity levels. Our strategy is general and can be used to examine the functions of other molecular rheostats.
