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

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are key therapeutic targets in cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. With only one transmembrane α-helix-compared with seven in G-protein-coupled receptors-RTKs are thought to be activated by ligand-induced dimerization. Complicating this view, however, one of the best-studied RTKs, the insulin receptor (IR), forms allosterically regulated covalent dimers. Moreover, noncovalent "preformed" dimers have frequently been reported for the sequence-related epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), one of the first RTKs for which ligand-induced dimerization was described. Here, we describe a detailed structural view of a preformed EGFR dimer. Using cryo-EM, we describe how the
