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

Organelles do not act as autonomous discrete units but rather as interconnected hubs that engage in extensive communication by forming close contacts called "membrane contact sites (MCSs)". And many proteins have been identified as residing in MCS and playing important roles in maintaining and fulfilling specific functions within these microdomains. However, a comprehensive compilation of these MCS proteins is still lacking. Therefore, we developed MCSdb, a manually curated resource of MCS proteins and complexes from publications. MCSdb documents 7010 MCS protein entries and 263 complexes, involving 24 organelles and 44 MCSs across 11 species. Additionally, MCSdb orchestrates all data into different categories with multitudinous information for presenting MCS proteins. In summary, MCSdb provides a valuable resource for accelerating MCS functional interpretation and interorganelle communication deciphering.
