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

Phosphorylation of the monomeric GTPase rab4 in mitotic cells leads to its relocalization from endosome membranes to the cytosol. To determine the mechanism underlying this change in distribution, we established an in vitro assay that reconstituted specific binding of rab4 when endosome-containing membranes were incubated with rab4 complexed with its cytosolic chaperone, GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI). rab4 was found to bind to a saturable receptor associated with highly purified endosomes. Membrane binding and nucleotide exchange were physically distinct, since an active soluble fragment of the rab4 receptor, but not rab4 nucleotide exchange activity, could be released from membranes by elastase cleavage. Interestingly, the soluble fragment could be used to fully reconstitute rab4 membrane binding. In vitro phosphorylation of rab4 by cdc2/cyclin B kinase did not affect formation of rab4-GDI complexes, but did completely inhibit rab4 binding to its receptor. In contrast, in vitro phosphorylation of membranes did not result in the dissociation of bound rab4, nor were mitotic membranes deficient with respect to binding non-phosphorylated rab4. Thus, mitotic cells appear to accumulate rab4 in the cytosol by phosphorylating rab4 during the soluble phase of its normal activity cycle, thereby preventing membrane attachment.
