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

LeClaire et al presented evidence that phosphorylation of three sites on the Arp2 subunit activates the Arp2/3 complex to nucleate actin filaments. We mutated the homologous residues of Arp2 (Y198, T233, and T234) in the fission yeast genome to amino acids that preclude or mimic phosphorylation. Arp2/3 complex is essential for the viability of fission yeast, yet strains unable to phosphorylate these sites grew normally. Y198F/T233A/T234A Arp2 was only nonfunctional if GFP-tagged, as observed by LeClaire et al in
