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

Biomolecular condensates play important roles in cellular physiology. Within the Hippo signaling pathway, a key regulator of growth and cell fate, condensates formed by upstream scaffolds recruit and promote the activation of the central kinase of the pathway, Warts (Wts)/LATS. Here, we report that the Wts inhibitor Jub also makes condensates that recruit Wts, raising the question of how partitioning of Wts to activating versus inhibitory condensates might be regulated. We address this by showing that Jub also promotes phosphorylation of the N-terminal intrinsically disordered region of Wts, and that N-terminal phosphorylation sites influence both Wts recruitment into condensates and Wts activity. We identify Minibrain and Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase as kinases that promote the phosphorylation of Wts at these sites and that modulate Wts recruitment into condensates and Wts activity in vivo. Our observations identify the modulation of condensate recruitment by phosphorylation of the Wts N terminus as a mechanism for regulating Hippo signaling.
