Divergent self-association properties of paralogous proteins TRIM2 and TRIM3 regulate their E3 ligase activity.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins constitute a large family of RING-type E3 ligases that share a conserved domain architecture. TRIM2 and TRIM3 are paralogous class VII TRIM members that are expressed mainly in the brain and regulate different neuronal functions. Here we present a detailed structure-function analysis of TRIM2 and TRIM3, which despite high sequence identity, exhibit markedly different self-association and activity profiles. We show that the isolated RING domain of human TRIM3 is monomeric and inactive, and that this lack of activity is due to a few placental mammal-specific amino acid changes adjacent to the core RING domain that prevent self-association but not E2 recognition. We demonstrate that the activity of human TRIM3 RING can be restored by substitution with the relevant region of human TRIM2 or by hetero-dimerization with human TRIM2, establishing that subtle amino acid changes can profoundly affect TRIM protein activity. Finally, we show that TRIM2 and TRIM3 interact in a cellular context via their filamin and coiled-coil domains, respectively.
