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

Cytoplasmic dynein is an enormous minus end-directed microtubule motor. Rather than existing as bare tracks, microtubules are bound by numerous microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that have the capacity to affect various cellular functions, including motor-mediated transport. One such MAP is She1, a dynein effector that polarizes dynein-mediated spindle movements in budding yeast. Here, we characterize the molecular basis by which She1 affects dynein, providing the first such insight into which a MAP can modulate motor motility. We find that She1 affects the ATPase rate, microtubule-binding affinity, and stepping behavior of dynein, and that microtubule binding by She1 is required for its effects on dynein motility. Moreover, we find that She1 directly contacts the microtubule-binding domain of dynein, and that their interaction is sensitive to the nucleotide-bound state of the motor. Our data support a model in which simultaneous interactions between the microtubule and dynein enables She1 to directly affect dynein motility.
