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

Non-covalent interactions of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) facilitate condensate formation, yet the impact of these interactions on condensate properties remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PAR-mediated interactions through PARP13, specifically the PARP13.2 isoform, are essential for modulating the dynamics of stress granules-a class of cytoplasmic condensates that form upon stress, including types frequently observed in cancers. Single amino acid mutations in PARP13, which reduce its PAR-binding activity, lead to the formation of smaller yet more numerous stress granules than observed in the wild-type. This fragmented stress granule phenotype is also apparent in PARP13 variants with cancer-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that disrupt PAR binding. Notably, this fragmented phenotype is conserved across a variety of stresses that trigger stress granule formation via diverse pathways. Furthermore, this PAR-binding mutant diminishes condensate dynamics and impedes fusion. Overall, our study uncovers the important role of PAR-protein interactions in stress granule dynamics and maturation, mediated through PARP13.
