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

In recent years, it has become clear that intrinsically disordered protein segments play diverse functional roles in many cellular processes, thus leading to a reassessment of the classical structure-function paradigm. One class of intrinsically disordered protein segments is entropic clocks, corresponding to unstructured random protein chains involved in timing cellular processes. Such clocks were shown to modulate ion channel processes underlying action potential generation, propagation, and transmission. In this review, we survey the role of entropic clocks in timing intra- and inter-molecular binding events of voltage-activated potassium channels involved in gating and clustering processes, respectively, and where both are known to occur according to a similar 'ball and chain' mechanism. We begin by delineating the thermodynamic and timing signatures of a 'ball and chain'-based binding mechanism involving entropic clocks, followed by a detailed analysis of the use of such a mechanism in the prototypical
