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 dynamic organization of the actin cytoskeleton, crucial for numerous cellular processes, is intricately regulated by the nucleotide state of actin filaments (F-actin). Visualization tools for specifically detecting ADP-bound F-actin, however, remain limited. Here, we introduce ADPact, a 20-amino-acid peptide that selectively binds to ADP-F-actin. ADPact allows for the precise visualization of ADP-F-actin structures both in vitro and in eukaryotic cells, particularly under energy stress conditions where ADP-/ATP-actin ratio increases. Importantly, ADPact and its fluorescent fusion variant, ADPact-GFP, do not disrupt actin dynamics, ensuring accurate monitoring of cytoskeletal reorganization. Our findings provide a powerful tool for studying actin dynamics and offer fresh insights into the regulation of the cytoskeleton under physiological and pathological conditions.
