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

TBC1D4 (also known as AS160) is a Rab·GTPase-activating protein (RabGAP) which functions in insulin signaling. TBC1D4 is critical for translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), from an inactive, intracellular, vesicle-bound site to the plasma membrane, where it promotes glucose entry into cells. The TBC1D4 protein is structurally subdivided into two N-terminal phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domains, a C-terminal catalytic RabGAP domain, and a disordered segment in between containing potential Akt phosphorylation sites. Structural predictions further suggest that a region C-terminal to the RabGAP domain adopts a coiled-coil motif. We show that C-terminal region (CTR) region is largely α-helical and mediates TBC1D4 RabGAP dimerization. RabGAP catalytic activity and thermal stability appear to be independent of CTR-mediated dimerization.
