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

A point mutation (P29S) in the RAS-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) was considered to be a trigger for melanoma, a form of skin cancer with highest mortality rate. In this study, we have investigated the pathogenic role of P29S based on the conformational behavior of RAC1 protein toward guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Molecular interaction, molecular dynamics trajectory analysis (RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, DSSP, and PCA), and shape analysis of binding pocket were performed to analyze the interaction energy and the dynamic behavior of native and mutant RAC1 at the atomic level. Due to this mutation, the RAC1 switch I region acquired more flexibility and, to compensate it, the switch II region becomes rigid in their conformational space, as a result of which the interaction energy of the protein for GTP increased. The overall results strongly implied that the changes in atomic conformation of the switch I and II regions in mutant RAC1 protein were a significant reason for its malignant transformation and tumorigenesis. We raised the opportunity for researchers to design possible therapeutic molecule by considering our findings.
