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

Guanine nucleotide-exchange factors (GEFs) activate the function of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) by promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the latter. Here, we describe a protocol for in vitro measurements of the GEF activity of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B, eIF2B, toward its substrate eIF2. This protocol provides a relatively simple method for determining the eIF2B's GEF activity in crude cell extracts. The eIF2 heterotrimeric substrate, with phosphorylated or unphosphorylated eIF2α, is prepared by immunoprecipitation, following subsequent loading of a fluorescent BODIPY-FL dye-attached GDP. The exchange of the bound fluorescent GDP molecule for an unlabeled one on eIF2 promoted by eIF2B is monitored kinetically using a fluorescence microplate reader.
