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

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) enables the formation of membraneless organelles, essential for cellular organization and implicated in diseases. We introduce catGRANULE 2.0 ROBOT, an algorithm integrating physicochemical properties and AlphaFold-derived structural features to predict LLPS at single-amino-acid resolution. The method achieves high performance and reliably evaluates mutation effects on LLPS propensity, providing detailed predictions of how specific mutations enhance or inhibit phase separation. Supported by experimental validations, including microscopy data, it predicts LLPS across diverse organisms and cellular compartments, offering valuable insights into LLPS mechanisms and mutational impacts. The tool is freely available at https://tools.tartaglialab.com/catgranule2 and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14205831 .
