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

c-Abl, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, regulates cell growth and survival in healthy cells and causes chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) when fused by Bcr. Its activity is blocked in the assembled inactive state, where the SH3 and SH2 domains dock into the kinase domain, reducing its conformational flexibility, resulting in the autoinhibited state. It is active in an extended 'open' conformation. Allostery governs the transitions between the autoinhibited and active states. Even though experiments revealed the structural hallmarks of the two states, a detailed grasp of the determinants of c-Abl autoinhibition and activation at the atomic level, which may help innovative drug discovery, is still lacking. Here, using extensive molecular dynamics simulations, we decipher exactly how these determinants regulate it. Our simulations confirm and extend experimental data that the myristoyl group serves as the switch for c-Abl inhibition/activation. Its dissociation from the kinase domain promotes the SH2-SH3 release, initiating c-Abl activation. We show that the precise SH2/
