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 growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) is a key factor in the regulation of cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and metabolism. In its structure, the central Src homology 2 (SH2) domain is flanked by two Src homology 3 (SH3). SH2 is the most important domain in the recognition of phosphotyrosines. Here, we present the first dynamical characterization of Grb2-SH2 domain in the free state and in the presence of phosphopeptide EpYINSQV at multiple timescales, which revealed valuable information to the understanding of phophotyrosine sensing mechanism. Grb2-SH2 presented two dynamically independent subdomains, subdomain I involved in pY recognition and subdomain II is the pY + 2 specificity pocket. Under semi-saturated concentrations of pY-pep we observed fuzzy interactions, which led to chemical exchange observed by NMR. This information was used to describe the encounter complex. The association with pY-pep is dynamic, involving fuzzy interactions and multiple conformations of pY-pep with negative and hydrophobic residues, creating an electrostatic-potential that drives the binding of pY-pep. The recognition face is wider than the binding site, with many residues beyond the central SH2 binding site participating in the association complex, which contribute to explain previously reported capability of Grb2 to recognize remote pY.
