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

SHP2 is a tyrosine phosphatase that plays a regulatory role in multiple intracellular signaling cascades and is known to be oncogenic in certain contexts. In the absence of effectors, SHP2 adopts an autoinhibited conformation with its N-SH2 domain blocking the active site. Given the key role of N-SH2 in regulating SHP2, this domain has been extensively studied, often by X-ray crystallography. Using a combination of structural analyses and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations we show that the crystallographic environment can significantly influence the structure of the isolated N-SH2 domain, resulting in misleading interpretations. As an orthogonal method to X-ray crystallography, we use a combination of NMR spectroscopy and MD simulations to accurately determine the conformation of apo N-SH2 in solution. In contrast to earlier reports based on crystallographic data, our results indicate that apo N-SH2 in solution primarily adopts a conformation with a fully zipped central β-sheet, and that partial unzipping of this β-sheet is promoted by binding of either phosphopeptides or even phosphate/sulfate ions.
