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

We report a comprehensive computational dissection of the domain architecture of the SAMD9 family proteins that are involved in antivirus and antitumor response in humans. We show that the SAMD9 protein family is represented in most animals and also, unexpectedly, in bacteria, in particular actinomycetes. From the N to C terminus, the core SAMD9 family architecture includes DNA/RNA-binding AlbA domain, a variant Sir2-like domain, a STAND-like P-loop NTPase, an array of TPR repeats and an OB-fold domain with predicted RNA-binding properties. Vertebrate SAMD9 family proteins contain the eponymous SAM domain capable of polymerization, whereas some family members from other animals instead contain homotypic adaptor domains of the DEATH superfamily, known as dedicated components of apoptosis networks. Such complex domain architecture is reminiscent of the STAND superfamily NTPases that are involved in various signaling processes, including programmed cell death, in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. These findings suggest that SAMD9 is a hub of a novel, evolutionarily conserved defense network that remains to be characterized. REVIEWERS: This article was reviewed by Igor B. Zhulin and Mensur Dlakic.
