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

It's widely appreciated that liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) underlies the formation of membraneless organelles, which function to concentrate proteins and nucleic acids. In the past few decades, major efforts have been devoted to identify the phase separation associated proteins and elucidate their functions. To better utilize the knowledge dispersed in published literature, we developed PhaSepDB (http://db.phasep.pro/), a manually curated database of phase separation associated proteins. Currently, PhaSepDB includes 2914 non-redundant proteins localized in different organelles curated from published literature and database. PhaSepDB provides protein summary, publication reference and sequence features of phase separation associated proteins. The sequence features which reflect the LLPS behavior are also available for other human protein candidates. The online database provides a convenient interface for the research community to easily browse, search and download phase separation associated proteins. As a centralized resource, we believe PhaSepDB will facilitate the future study of phase separation.
