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 extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2), a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) located downstream of the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signal transduction cascade, is involved in the regulation of a large variety of cellular processes. The ERK2, activated by phosphorylation, is the principal effector of a central signaling cascade that converts extracellular stimuli into cells. Deregulation of the ERK2 signaling pathway is related to many human diseases, including cancer. This study reports a comprehensive biophysical analysis of structural, function, and stability data of pure, recombinant human non-phosphorylated (NP-) and phosphorylated (P-) ERK2 wild-type and missense variants in the common docking site (CD-site) found in cancer tissues. Because the CD-site is involved in interaction with protein substrates and regulators, a biophysical characterization of missense variants adds information about the impact of point mutations on the ERK2 structure-function relationship. Most of the P-ERK2 variants in the CD-site display a reduced catalytic efficiency, and for the P-ERK2 D321E, D321N, D321V and E322K, changes in thermodynamic stability are observed. The thermal stability of NP-ERK2 and P-ERK2 D321E, D321G, and E322K is decreased with respect to the wild-type. In general, a single residue mutation in the CD-site may lead to structural local changes that reflects in alterations in the global ERK2 stability and catalysis.
