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 kinase A (PKA) holoenzyme consists of two catalytic (C) subunits and a regulatory (R) subunit dimer (R(2)C(2)). The kinase is activated by the binding of cAMPs to the two cyclic nucleotide binding domains (CBDs), A and B, on each R-subunit. Despite extensive study, details of the allosteric mechanisms underlying the cooperativity of holoenzyme activation remain unclear. Several Markov state models of PKA-RIα were developed to test competing theories of activation for the R(2)C(2) complex. We found that CBD-B plays an essential role in R-C interaction and promotes the release of the first C-subunit prior to the binding to CBD-A. This favors a conformational selection mechanism for release of the first C-subunit of PKA. However, the release of the second C-subunit requires all four cAMP sites to be occupied. These analyses elucidate R-C heterodimer interactions in the cooperative activation of PKA and cAMP binding and represent a new mechanistic model of R(2)C(2) PKA-RIα activation.
