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

Phase separation (PS) proteins form droplets to regulate myriad membraneless organelles (MLOs) and cellular pathways such as transcription, signaling transduction and protein degeneration. PS droplets are usually liquid-like and can convert to hydrogel/solid-like under certain conditions. The PS behavior of proteins is regulated by co-PS partners and mutations, modifications, oligomerizations, repeat regions and alternative splicing of the proteins. With growing interest in PS condensates and associated proteins, we established PhaSepDB 1.0, which provided experimentally verified PS proteins and MLO-related proteins. The past few years witnessed a surge in PS-related research works; thus, we kept updating PhaSepDB. The current PhaSepDB contains 1419 PS entries, 770 low-throughput MLO-related entries and 7303 high-throughput MLO-related entries. We provided more detailed annotations of PS proteins, including PS verification experiments, regions used in experiments, phase diagrams of different experimental conditions, droplet states, co-PS partners and PS regulatory information. We believe that researchers can go further in studying PS proteins with the updated PhaSepDB (http://db.phasep.pro/).
