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

Proteins undergoing liquid-liquid phase separation are being discovered at an increasing rate. Since at the high concentrations present in the cell most proteins would be expected to form a liquid condensed state, this state should be considered to be a fundamental state of proteins along with the native state and the amyloid state. Here we discuss the generic nature of the liquid-like and solid-like condensed states, and describe a wide variety of biological functions conferred by these condensed states.
