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 serine/threonine-protein kinase, Akt1, plays an important part in mammalian cell growth, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis, and becomes activated through phosphorylation. To monitor phosphorylation of threonine 308 in Akt1, we developed a recombinant phosphothreonine-binding domain (pTBD) that is highly selective for the Akt1 phosphopeptide. A phage-display library of variants of the Forkhead-associated 1 (FHA1) domain of yeast Rad53p was screened by affinity selection to the phosphopeptide, 301-KDGATMKpTFCGTPEY-315, and yielded 12 binding clones. The strongest binders have equilibrium dissociation constants of 160⁻180 nanomolar and are phosphothreonine-specific in binding. The specificity of one Akt1-pTBD was compared to commercially available polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) generated against the same phosphopeptide. The Akt1-pTBD was either equal to or better than three pAbs in detecting the Akt1 pT308 phosphopeptide in ELISAs.
