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

Rho family small GTPases (Rho GTPases) are key regulators of cellular morphology, primarily through their control of the actin cytoskeleton. They play crucial roles in various cellular processes, including cell division, adhesion, and migration. The activity of Rho GTPases is tightly regulated by specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which facilitate the exchange of GDP for GTP, thereby activating the GTPases. In the human genome, RhoGEFs are categorized into two major families: the DOCK family, comprising 11 members characterized by dedicator of cytokinesis (DOCK) homology regions, and the Dbl family, consisting of 64 members that contain a diffuse B-cell lymphoma (Dbl) homology domain. This review focuses on the pleckstrin homology and RhoGEF domain containing G (PLEKHG) family within the Dbl family of RhoGEFs, which remains largely uncharacterized. We summarize their structure and function, with a particular emphasis on PLEKHG2, discussing its regulatory mechanisms, interactions with various molecules, and its involvement in neural functions.
