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

The Rho GTPases were discovered more than 30 years ago, and they were for a long time considered to follow simple cycling between GDP-bound and GTP-bound conformations, as for the Ras subfamily of small GTPases. The Rho GTPases consist of 20 members, but at least 10 of these do not follow this classical GTPase cycle. Thus, based on their kinetic properties, these Rho GTPases can instead be classified as atypical. Some of these atypical Rho GTPases do not hydrolyze GTP, and some have significantly increased intrinsic GDP/GTP exchange activity. This review focuses on this latter category of atypical Rho GTPases, the so-called 'fast-cycling' Rho GTPases. The different members of these fast-cycling atypical Rho GTPases are described in more detail here, along with their potential regulatory mechanisms. Finally, some insights are provided into the involvement of the atypical Rho GTPases in human pathologies.
