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

In this work, we put forward the provocative hypothesis that the active, ligand-bound RTK dimers from unrelated subfamilies can associate into heterooligomers with novel signaling properties. This hypothesis is based on a quantitative FRET study that monitors the interactions between EGFR and VEGFR2 in the plasma membrane of live cells in the absence of ligand, in the presence of either EGF or VEGF, and in the presence of both ligands. We show that direct interactions occur between EGFR and VEGFR2 in the absence of ligand and in the presence of the two cognate ligands. However, there are not significant heterointeractions between EGFR and VEGFR2 when only one of the ligands is present. Since RTK dimers and RTK oligomers are believed to signal differently, this finding suggests a novel mechanism for signal diversification.
