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

While kinases are typically composed of one or two subunits, calcium-calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is composed of 8-14 subunits arranged as pairs around a central core. It is not clear if the CaMKII holoenzyme functions as an assembly of independent subunits, as catalytic pairs, or as a single unit. One strategy to address this question is to genetically engineer monomeric and dimeric CaMKII and evaluate how their activity compares to the wild-type (WT) holoenzyme. Here a technique that combines fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and homo-FRET analysis was used to characterize assembly mutants of Venus-tagged CaMKIIα to identify a dimeric CaMKII. Spectroscopy was then used to compare how holoenzyme structure and function changes in response to activation with CaM in the dimeric mutant, WT-holoenzyme, and a monomeric CaMKII oligomerization-domain deletion mutant control. CaM triggered an increase in hydrodynamic volume in both WT and dimeric CaMKII without altering subunit stoichiometry or the net homo-FRET between Venus-tagged catalytic domains. Biochemical analysis revealed that the dimeric mutant also functioned like WT holoenzyme in terms of its kinase activity with an exogenous substrate, and for endogenous T286 autophosphorylation. We conclude that the fundamental functional units of CaMKII holoenzyme are paired catalytic-domains.
