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

It is now clear that membrane association of intrinsically disordered proteins or intrinsically disordered regions regulates many cellular processes, such as membrane targeting of Src family kinases and ion channel gating. Residue-specific characterization by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, molecular dynamics simulations, and other techniques has shown that polybasic motifs and amphipathic helices are the main drivers of membrane association; sequence-based prediction of residue-specific membrane association propensity has become possible. Membrane association facilitates protein-protein interactions and protein aggregation-these effects are due to reduced dimensionality but are similar to those afforded by condensate formation via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). LLPS at the membrane surface provides a powerful means for recruiting and clustering proteins, as well as for membrane remodeling.
