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 identification of phosphatases that dephosphorylate specific sites in proteins remains a major challenge, particularly for the major class of serine/threonine-specific phosphatases, which function as holoenzymes. Here, we report the development of synthetic trap-peptides to identify phosphatases that bind to Tom6, a subunit of the mitochondrial translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex. The TOM complex is regulated by reversible phosphorylation, and although responsible kinases have been identified, the corresponding phosphatases so far remain unknown. Here, the trap-peptides enriched phosphoserine/threonine-specific protein phosphatases 2A (PP2A) and 4 (PP4) as full holoenzymes from yeast cytosolic fractions. We observed that their interaction with Tom6 was mediated through their regulatory subunits Cdc55
