Protein Proximity Observed Using Fluorogen Activating Protein and Dye Activated by Proximal Anchoring (FAP-DAPA) System.
Article in ACS chemical biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 development and function of tissues, blood, and the immune system is dependent upon proximity for cellular recognition and communication. However, the detection of cell-to-cell contacts is limited due to a lack of reversible, quantitative probes that can function at these dynamic sites of irregular geometry. Described here is a novel chemo-genetic tool developed for fluorescent detection of protein-protein proximity and cell apposition that utilizes the Fluorogen Activating Protein (FAP) in combination with a Dye Activated by Proximal Anchoring (DAPA). The FAP-DAPA system has two protein components, the HaloTag and FAP, expressed on separate protein targets or in separate cells. The proteins function to bind and activate a compound that has the hexyl chloride (HexCl) ligand connected to malachite green (MG), the FAP fluorogen, via a poly(ethylene glycol) spacer spanning up to 28 nm. The dehalogenase protein, HaloTag, covalently binds the HexCl ligand, locally concentrating the attached MG. If the FAP is within range of the anchored fluorogen, it will bind and activate MG specifically when the bath concentration is too low to saturate the FAP receptor. A new FAP variant was isolated with a 1000-fold reduced
