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

PLEKHA7 (pleckstrin homology domain containing family A member 7) plays key roles in intracellular signaling, cytoskeletal organization, and cell adhesion, and is associated with multiple human cancers. The interactions of its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain with membrane phosphatidyl-inositol-phosphate (PIP) lipids are critical for proper cellular localization and function, but little is known about how PLEKHA7 and other PH domains interact with membrane-embedded PIPs. Here we describe the structural basis for recognition of membrane-bound PIPs by PLEHA7. Using X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, molecular dynamics simulations, and isothermal titration calorimetry, we show that the interaction of PLEKHA7 with PIPs is multivalent, distinct from a discrete one-to-one interaction, and induces PIP clustering. Our findings reveal a central role of the membrane assembly in mediating protein-PIP association and provide a roadmap for understanding how the PH domain contributes to the signaling, adhesion, and nanoclustering functions of PLEKHA7.
