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

Division of fungal and animal cells depends on scaffold proteins called anillins. Cytokinesis by the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is compromised by the loss of anillin Mid1p (Mid1, UniProtKB P78953 ), because cytokinesis organizing centers, called nodes, are misplaced and fail to acquire myosin-II, so they assemble slowly into abnormal contractile rings. The C-terminal half of Mid1p consists of lipid binding C2 and PH domains, but the N-terminal half (Mid1p-N452) performs most of the functions of the full-length protein. Little is known about the structure of the N-terminal half of Mid1p, so we investigated its physical properties using structure prediction tools, spectroscopic techniques, and hydrodynamic measurements. The data indicate that Mid1p-N452 is intrinsically disordered but moderately compact. Recombinant Mid1p-N452 purified from insect cells was phosphorylated, which weakens its tendency to aggregate. Purified Mid1p-N452 demixes into liquid droplets at concentrations far below its concentration in nodes. These physical properties are appropriate for scaffolding other proteins in nodes.
