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

DisProt (https://disprot.org/) is an open database integrating experimental evidence on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), and their functions. Over the past two years, the database has grown over 20%, now comprising 3201 IDPs and 13 347 pieces of evidence, including over 1500 new structural state annotations and >1300 new function annotations. DisProt has systematically adopted the Minimum Information About Disorder Experiments (MIADE) guidelines, more than doubling annotations with experimental details and improving the interpretability of disorder-related experiments. The website has evolved into a hybrid knowledgebase and deposition system, introducing a Deposition Page that allows direct submissions by external users. Through BLAST-based homology propagation in MobiDB, DisProt disorder regions and linear interacting peptides have been extended from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of proteins across >11 000 organisms. This new release marks a paradigm shift by integrating computational predictions as valid evidence and introducing major updates and restructuring of the IDP Ontology, enhancing accuracy, interoperability, and semantic clarity. DisProt continues to support community engagement through training resources together with DisTriage, an AI-based literature triage tool, providing curators with regularly updated lists of prioritized publications.
