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

Lipid-modified GTPases in the Ras superfamily that mediate a variety of cell signaling processes were thought to be passively anchored to membranes. However, an increasing number of recent studies are finding that membrane binding of these proteins is hardly a passive process, and it involves the soluble catalytic domain as well as the lipid anchor. The catalytic domain adopts multiple orientations on the membrane surface due to internal fluctuations that are modulated by activation status and mutations. Distinct orientation preferences among small GTPases likely lead to differential signaling outcomes, as downstream effectors can sense different orientations. We review recent studies behind this important conclusion.
