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

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 is a central regulator of intracellular signaling, driving physiological and pathological pathways. With over 150 downstream targets, it is predicted that spatial positioning and the availability of cofactors and substrates determines kinase signaling specificity. The subcellular localization of p38 is highly dynamic to facilitate the selective activation of spatially restricted substrates. However, the spatial dynamics of atypical p38 inflammatory signaling are understudied. We utilized subcellular targeted fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) p38 activity biosensors to map the spatial profile of kinase activity. Through comparative analysis of plasma membrane, cytosolic, nuclear, and endosomal compartments, we confirm a characteristic profile of nuclear bias for mitogen-activated kinase kinase 3/6 (MKK3/6) dependent p38 activation. Conversely, atypical p38 activation via thrombin-mediated protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) activity led to enhanced p38 activity at the endosome and cytosol, limiting nuclear p38 activity, a profile conserved for prostaglandin E2 activation of p38. Conversely, perturbation of receptor endocytosis led to spatiotemporal switching of thrombin signaling, reducing endosomal and cytosolic p38 activity and increasing nuclear activity. The data presented reveal the spatiotemporal dynamics of p38 activity and provide critical insight into how atypical p38 signaling drives differential signaling responses through spatial sequestration of kinase activity.
