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

Unraveling the concentration-dependent spatiotemporal organization of receptors in the plasma membrane is crucial to understand cell signal initiation. A paradigm of this process is the oligomerization of CD95 during apoptosis signaling, with different oligomerization models being discussed. Here, we establish the molecular-sensitive approach cell lifetime Förster resonance energy transfer image spectroscopy to determine CD95 configurations in live cells. These data are corroborated by stimulated emission depletion microscopy, confocal photobleaching step analysis, and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. We probed CD95 interactions for concentrations of ~10 to 1000 molecules per square micrometer, over nanoseconds to hours, and molecular to cellular scales. Quantitative benchmarking was achieved establishing high-fidelity monomer and dimer controls. While CD95 alone is primarily monomeric (~96%) and dimeric (4%), the addition of ligand induces oligomerization to dimers/trimers (~15%) leading to cell death. This study highlights molecular concentration effects and oligomerization dynamics. It reveals a minimal model, where small CD95 oligomers suffice to efficiently initiate signaling.
