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 many members of the Ras superfamily are small GTPases that serve as molecular switches. These proteins bind the guanine nucleotides GTP and GDP with picomolar affinities, thereby stabilizing on- and off-signaling states, respectively. Quantitative in vitro Ras studies require accurate determination of total protein, its fractional occupancy with guanine nucleotide, and spectroscopic purity. Yet the high nucleotide affinity of Ras and the overlapping UV spectra of the protein and bound nucleotide make such determinations challenging. Here we describe a generalizable UV spectral deconvolution method to analyze the total protein concentration, total nucleotide stoichiometry, and purity of Ras complexes.
