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

Phase separation (PS) is a fundamental principle driving the formation of membraneless organelles (MLOs), which are critical for various cellular functions and pathological conditions. We present PhaSepDB 3.0 (https://db.phasep.pro/), a significantly updated knowledgebase of proteins related to PS. To address the challenges of curating a vast body of literature, we have implemented a novel human-AI collaborative workflow that integrates a large language model (LLM)-based agentic system with expert verification, enabling a major expansion and enrichment of the database. PhaSepDB 3.0 now contains 3,484 expert-curated entries for 1849 PS-related proteins, more than doubling the content of the previous version. The annotation framework has been restructured to capture deeper insights, including functional relevance, experimental evidence, and the intrinsic and extrinsic regulations of PS. A key new feature is the protein-wise summary page, which synthesizes data from multiple publications to provide a comprehensive overview of each protein's PS behaviour and functional relevance. With redesigned, user-friendly web interfaces, PhaSepDB 3.0 serves as a critical resource for the community, supporting researchers to explore the intricate basis of PS and its biological implications in greater detail.
