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

Protein phosphorylation is an abundant post-translational modification (PTM) and an essential modulator of protein functionality in living cells. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are particular targets of PTM protein kinases due to their involvement in fundamental protein interaction networks. Despite their dynamic nature, IDPs are far from having random-coil conformations but exhibit significant structural heterogeneity. Changes in the molecular environment, most prominently in the form of PTM via phosphorylation, can modulate these structural features. Therefore, how phosphorylation events can alter conformational ensembles of IDPs and their interactions with binding partners is of great interest. Here we study the effects of hyperphosphorylation on the IDP osteopontin (OPN), an extracellular target of the Fam20C kinase. We report a full characterization of the phosphorylation sites of OPN using a combined nuclear magnetic resonance/mass spectrometry approach and provide evidence for an increase in the local flexibility of highly phosphorylated regions and the ensuing overall structural elongation. Our study emphasizes the simultaneous importance of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions in the formation of compact substates in IDPs and their relevance for molecular recognition events.
