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

Most TGFβ family ligands exist as procomplexes consisting of a prodomain noncovalently bound to a growth factor (GF); Whereas some prodomains confer latency, the Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) prodomain maintains a remarkably high affinity for the GF yet remains active. Using single particle EM methods, we show the AMH prodomain consists of two subdomains: a vestigial TGFβ prodomain-like fold and a novel, helical bundle GF-binding domain, the result of an exon insertion 450 million years ago, that engages both receptor epitopes. When associated with the prodomain, the AMH GF is distorted into a strained, open conformation whose closure upon bivalent binding of AMHR2 displaces the prodomain through a conformational shift mechanism to allow for signaling.
