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

Eukaryotic protein kinases (EPKs) regulate almost every biological process and have evolved to be dynamic molecular switches; this is in stark contrast to metabolic enzymes, which have evolved to be efficient catalysts. In particular, the highly conserved active site of every EPK is dynamically and transiently assembled by a process that is highly regulated and unique for every protein kinase. We review here the essential features of the kinase core, focusing on the conserved motifs and residues that are embedded in every kinase. We explore, in particular, how the hydrophobic core architecture specifically drives the dynamic assembly of the regulatory spine and consequently the organization of the active site where the γ-phosphate of ATP is positioned by a convergence of conserved motifs including a conserved regulatory triad for transfer to a protein substrate. In conclusion, we show how the flanking N- and C-terminal tails often classified as intrinsically disordered regions, as well as flanking domains, contribute in a highly kinase-specific manner to the regulation of the conserved kinase core. Understanding this process as well as how one kinase activates another remains as two of the big challenges for the kinase signaling community. © 2019 IUBMB Life, 71(6):672-684, 2019.
