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

Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) activity is thought to be spatiotemporally defined by hundreds of different regulatory subunits, but their mechanisms of action are largely unknown. The Ankyrin repeat, SH3-domain, and Proline-rich region containing Proteins (ASPPs) bind and localize PP1 to cell-cell junctions. Here, we show ASPPs bind superstoichiometric amounts of PP1. Missense mutations in the ankyrin repeats of ASPPs, that were previously isolated from a forward genetic screen in Caenorhabditis elegans, reduce the stoichiometry of PP1 binding. Forcing PP1 oligomerization restores mutant ASPP function in vivo. We propose that ASPPs multimerize PP1 to establish a concentrated hub of phosphatase activity at cell-cell junctions.
