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

Protein interaction domains binding to their recognition motifs are the nuts and bolts that hold macromolecular complexes together. Point mutations and gene fusions that drive evolutionary changes in these interactors have created a burgeoning repertoire of protein scaffolds. A-Kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are archetypal signal organizing proteins that compartmentalize protein kinase A (PKA) inside the cell. An amino-terminal docking and dimerization (d/d) domain on the regulatory subunit of the kinase binds with high affinity to an amphipathic helix on the AKAP. This perspective introduces a new group of interactors called docking and dimerization domain interacting proteins that preceded the advent of the AKAP-PKA interface. We also examine various evolutionary paths used by anchoring proteins to gain PKA binding function.
