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

Cells routinely orchestrate the activities of diverse biochemical pathways to sustain cellular function and proliferation, as exemplified by their ability to faithfully convert extracellular signals into specific intracellular responses. The dynamic nature of intracellular signaling calls for appropriate tools to capture these complex molecular events. Recent advances in genetically encoded biosensor engineering are revolutionizing our ability to dissect the molecular mechanisms regulating signaling activities with unprecedented resolution. Here, we present a timely update on novel biosensor designs and highlight recent applications where biosensor imaging yielded breakthrough insights into the spatiotemporal dynamics of GPCR signaling and cell cycle regulation.
