Coupling of binding and differential subdomain folding of the intrinsically disordered transcription factor CREB.
Article in FEBS letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) contains a basic leucine zipper motif (bZIP) that forms a coiled coil structure upon dimerization and specific DNA binding. Although this state is well characterized, key features of CREB bZIP binding and folding are not well understood. We used single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to probe conformations of CREB bZIP subdomains. We found differential folding of the basic region and leucine zipper in response to different binding partners; a strong and previously unreported DNA-independent dimerization affinity; folding upon binding to nonspecific DNA; and evidence of long-range interdomain interactions in full-length CREB that modulate DNA binding. These studies provide new insights into DNA binding and dimerization and have implications for CREB function.
