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

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is one mechanism that cells can use to organize biomolecules spatially and functionally. Some coiled-coil (CC) proteins, such as the centrosomal proteins pericentrin and spd-5, are thought to LLPS, but it is currently unknown what parts of these proteins facilitate the process. It is thought, however, that the numerous CC domains in these proteins might be contributing to their LLPS. We recently showed, using computational studies and designed proteins, that CC domains can facilitate LLPS through specific interactions between the CC domains themselves, meaning that each CC was designed to interact only with a subset of other CCs in the system. This is in contrast to nonspecific interactions, where all CCs would be able to interact with all other CCs in the system, which is akin to some interactions (e.g.
