Design and evaluation of a tripartite chemogenetic fluorescent reporter for visualizing ternary protein complexes.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Most cellular processes are carried out by multiprotein assemblies. Although various molecular tools exist to visualize binary protein interactions in live cells, the visualization of multiprotein complexes remains a challenge. Here, we report the engineering of a complementation-based approach allowing one to visualize the interaction of three proteins through effective proximity-induced complementation of three fragments of pFAST, a chemogenetic fluorescent reporter that binds and stabilizes the fluorescent state of fluorogenic chromophores (so-called fluorogens). This tripartite-split-pFAST allowed the observation of dynamic ternary protein complexes in the cytosol, at the plasma membrane, in the nucleus and at the junction of multiple organelles, opening prospects to study the role and function of multiprotein complexes in live cells and in various biologically relevant contexts.
