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

FARP1 is a multi-domain protein that is involved in regulating neuronal development through interacting with cell surface proteins such as class A Plexins and SynCAM 1. The N-terminal FERM domain in FARP1 is known to both promote membrane localization and mediate these protein interactions, for which the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here we determined the crystal structures of the FERM domain of FARP1 from zebrafish, and those of FARP2 (a close homolog of FARP1) from mouse and zebrafish. These FERM domains adopt the three-leaved clover fold that is typical of all FERM domains. Our structures reveal a positively charged surface patch that is highly conserved in the FERM domain of FARP1 and FARP2. In vitro lipid-binding experiments showed that the FARP1 FERM domain binds specifically to several types of phospholipid, which is dependent on the positively charged surface patch. We further determined through cell-based analyses that this surface patch on the FERM domain underlies the localization of FARP1 to the plasma membrane, and that FERM domain interactions recruit it to postsynaptic sites in neurons.
