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

Plasma membrane (PM) curvature defines cell shape and intracellular organelle morphologies and is a fundamental cell property. Growth/proliferation is more stimulated in flatter cells than the same cells in elongated shapes. PM-anchored K-Ras small GTPase regulates cell growth/proliferation and plays key roles in cancer. The lipid-anchored K-Ras form nanoclusters selectively enriched with specific phospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine (PS), for efficient effector recruitment and activation. K-Ras function may, thus, be sensitive to changing lipid distribution at membranes with different curvatures. Here, we used complementary methods to manipulate membrane curvature of intact/live cells, native PM blebs, and synthetic liposomes. We show that the spatiotemporal organization and signaling of an oncogenic mutant K-Ras
