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

The PDZ domain (PSD95-Discs large-ZO1) is a widespread modular domain present in the living organisms. A prevalent function in the PDZ family is to serve as scaffolding and adaptor proteins connecting multiple partners in signaling pathways. An explanation of the flexible functionality in this domain family, based just on a static perspective of the structure-activity relationship, might fall short. More dynamic and conformational aspects in the protein fold can be the reasons for such functionality. Folding studies indeed showed an ample and malleable folding landscape for PDZ domains where multiple intermediate states were experimentally detected. Allosteric phenomena that resemble energetic coupling between residues have also been found in PDZ domains. Additionally, several PDZ domains are modulated by post-translational modifications, which introduce conformational switches that affect binding. Altogether, the ability to connect diverse partners might arise from the intrinsic plasticity of the PDZ fold.
