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

Aberrations in protein tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent cell signalling contribute to a wide variety of human diseases. Drugs targeting protein tyrosine kinases have had a major impact on human health; by contrast, protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which serve unique functions and together with protein tyrosine kinases coordinate tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent cell signalling, have been underexploited therapeutically. In this Review, we discuss key breakthroughs in our understanding of how PTPs are regulated, highlight their capacity to coordinate signalling and provide examples of their complex roles in physiology and pathophysiology, including diabetes, obesity and cancer. Also, we discuss the development of PTP-targeted therapeutics that are in clinical trials or poised for clinical translation. We argue that the emergence of this class of enzymes from the shadows lays the foundation for a more complete understanding of the regulation of cell signalling and heralds a new era of drug development opportunities to combat important human diseases.
