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

The role of TIRAP (toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adapter protein) in macrophage inflammatory signalling has been significantly evolved since its discovery in 2001 due to its dynamic nature and subcellular localization to regulate multiple signaling through several protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Structural analysis of these interactions can reveal a better understanding of their conformational dynamics and the nature of their binding. Tyrosine phosphorylation in the TIR domain of TIRAP is very critical for its function. In toll-like receptor (TLR) 4/2 signalling, Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) are known to phosphorylate the Y86, Y106, Y159, and Y187 of TIRAP which is crucial for the downstream function of MAPKs (mitogen-activated protein kinases) activation. The objective of this study is to understand the interaction of TIRAP with p38 MAPK through molecular docking and identify the importance of TIRAP tyrosine phosphorylation in p38 MAPK interaction. In this structural study, we performed an in-silico molecular docking using HADDOCK 2.4, pyDockWEB, ClusPro 2.0, and ZDOCK 3.0.2 tools to unravel the interaction between TIRAP and p38 MAPK. Further, manual in-silico phosphorylations of TIRAP tyrosines; Y86, Y106, Y159, and Y187 was created in the Discovery Studio tool to study the conformational changes in protein docking and their binding affinities with p38 MAPK in comparison to non-phosphorylated state. Our molecular docking and 500 ns of molecular dynamic (MD) simulation study demonstrates that the Y86 phosphorylation (pY86) in TIRAP is crucial in promoting the higher binding affinity (∆G
