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

Ran is a small GTPase that regulates nucleocytoplasmic transport by cycling between an inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound state. Structurally, Ran consists of a globular G-domain and a C-terminal region that includes a C-terminal helix. The switch I and II regions of the G-domain undergo major conformational changes upon GTP hydrolysis, with switch I shifting from a closed to an open conformation, regulating cargo loading/unloading. In this study, we describe an induced conformational change in RanGTP that drives switch I from its closed, active state (state 2) to a fully open, inactive state, resembling the RanGDP conformation. This transition is consistently triggered by disruption of two key interactions: Thr42-Mg
