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

RAS GTPases bind effectors to convert upstream cues to changes in cellular function. Effectors of classical H/K/NRAS are defined by RBD/RA domains which recognize the GTP-bound conformation of these GTPases, yet the specificity of RBD/RAs for over 160 RAS superfamily proteins remains poorly explored. We have systematically mapped interactions between BRAF and four RASSF effectors, the largest family of RA-containing proteins, with all RAS, RHO and ARF small GTPases. 39 validated complexes reveal plasticity in RASSF binding, while BRAF demonstrates tight specificity for classical H/K/NRAS. Complex between RASSF5 and diverse RAS GTPases at the plasma membrane can activate Hippo signalling and sequester YAP in the cytosol. RASSF8 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation and resides in YAP-associated membraneless condensates, which also engage several RAS and RHO GTPases. The poorly studied RASSF3 has been identified as a first potential effector of mitochondrial MIRO proteins, and its co-expression with these GTPases impacts mitochondria and peroxisome distribution. These data reveal the complex nature of GTPase-effector interactions and show their systematic elucidation can reveal completely novel and biologically relevant cellular processes.
