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

G protein βγ subunit (Gβγ) is a major signal transducer and controls processes ranging from cell migration to gene transcription. Despite having significant subtype heterogeneity and exhibiting diverse cell- and tissue-specific expression levels, Gβγ is often considered a unified signaling entity with a defined functionality. However, the molecular and mechanistic basis of Gβγ's signaling specificity is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Gγ subunits, bearing the sole plasma membrane (PM)-anchoring motif, control the PM affinity of Gβγ and thereby differentially modulate Gβγ effector signaling in a Gγ-specific manner. Both Gβγ signaling activity and the migration rate of macrophages are strongly dependent on the PM affinity of Gγ. We also found that the type of C-terminal prenylation and five to six pre-Caa
