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

Here we describe labeling with barcodes and enrichment for biochemical analysis by sequencing (LABEL-seq), an assay for massively parallel profiling of pooled protein variants in human cells. By leveraging the intracellular self-assembly of an RNA-binding domain (RBD) with a stable, variant-encoding RNA barcode, LABEL-seq facilitates the direct measurement of protein properties and functions using simple affinity enrichments of RBD protein fusions, followed by high-throughput sequencing of co-enriched barcodes. Measurement of ~20,000 variant effects for ~1,600 BRaf variants revealed that variation at positions frequently mutated in cancer minimally impacted intracellular abundance but could dramatically alter activity, protein-protein interactions and druggability. Integrative analysis identified networks of positions with similar biochemical roles and enabled modeling of variant effects on cell proliferation and small molecule-promoted degradation. Thus, LABEL-seq enables direct measurement of multiple biochemical properties in a native cellular context, providing insights into protein function, disease mechanisms and druggability.
