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

Here, to overcome many limitations accompanying current available methods to detect protein-protein interactions (PPIs), we develop a live cell method called Split Intein-Mediated Protein Ligation (SIMPL). In this approach, bait and prey proteins are respectively fused to an intein N-terminal fragment (IN) and C-terminal fragment (IC) derived from a re-engineered split intein GP41-1. The bait/prey binding reconstitutes the intein, which splices the bait and prey peptides into a single intact protein that can be detected by regular protein detection methods such as Western blot analysis and ELISA, serving as readouts of PPIs. The method is robust and can be applied not only in mammalian cell lines but in animal models such as C. elegans. SIMPL demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity, and enables exploration of PPIs in different cellular compartments and tracking of kinetic interactions. Additionally, we establish a SIMPL ELISA platform that enables high-throughput screening of PPIs and their inhibitors.
