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

The cell's ability to rapidly partition biomolecules into biomolecular condensates is linked to a diverse range of cellular functions. Understanding how the structural attributes of biomolecular condensates are linked with their biological roles can be facilitated by the development of synthetic condensate systems that can be manipulated in a controllable and predictable way. Here, we design and characterise a tuneable synthetic biomolecular condensate platform fusing modular consensus-designed tetratricopeptide repeat (CTPR) proteins to intrinsically-disordered domains. Trends between the CTPR structural attributes and condensate propensity were recapitulated across different experimental conditions and by
