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

Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder caused by the hyperactivation of the RAS-MAPK molecular pathway. About 50% of NS cases are caused by mutations affecting the SHP2 protein, a multi-domain phosphatase with a fundamental role in the regulation of the RAS-MAPK pathway. Most NS-causing mutations influence the stability of the inactive form of SHP2. However, one NS-causing mutation, namely T42A, occurs in the binding pocket of the N-SH2 domain of the protein. Here, we present a quantitative characterization of the effect of the T42A mutation on the binding of the N-terminal SH2 domain of SHP2 with a peptide mimicking Gab2, a fundamental interaction that triggers the activation of the phosphatase in the cellular environment. Our results show that whilst the T42A mutation does not affect the association rate constant with the ligand, it causes a dramatic increase of the affinity for Gab2. This effect is due to a remarkable decrease of the microscopic dissociation rate constant of over two orders of magnitudes. In an effort to investigate the molecular basis of the T42A mutation in causing Noonan syndrome, we also compare the experimental results with a more conservative variant, T42S. Our findings are discussed in the context of the structural data available on SHP2.
