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

introductionA new variant of endemic pemphigus foliaceus, El Bagre-EPF, is an orphan autoimmune disease occurring in El Bagre and neighboring municipalities in Colombia, South America.

objectivesWe aimed to evaluate current state-of-the-art databases and protein-protein interactomes, focusing on post-translational modifications as potential tools to study interactions among El Bagre-EPF antigen proteins.

methodsWe consulted multiple databases for the known target antigens and their protein-protein interactions. We searched for their network nodes (they represent proteins; each node corresponded to all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus). We also searched for any post-translational modifications.

resultsWe identified similarities in proteins bound by several autoantigens but also found differences in protein linkages. We found that desmoglein, periplakin, desmoplakins, and proteins from subfamilies of the Armadillo repeat proteins and some spectrin domains linked to other cell junctions; these played important roles in membrane-plaque and intermediate filament junctions. A typical drawback in current databases is the lack of information on lipid-protein interactions.

conclusionsOur results show that state-of-the-art protein databases as tools for studies of interactomes fall short in areas including tertiary and quaternary protein interactions and in vivo protein functioning. Enhanced three-dimensional or multi-dimensional functions are required for more accurate interactome analyses.
