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

Dual-specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases (MKPs) directly dephosphorylate and inactivate the MAPKs. Although the catalytic mechanism of dephosphorylation of the MAPKs by the MKPs is established, a complete molecular picture of the regulatory interplay between the MAPKs and MKPs still remains to be fully explored. Here, we sought to define the molecular mechanism of MKP5 regulation through an allosteric site within its catalytic domain. We demonstrate using crystallographic and NMR spectroscopy approaches that residue Y435 is required to maintain the structural integrity of the allosteric pocket. Along with molecular dynamics simulations, these data provide insight into how changes in the allosteric pocket propagate conformational flexibility in the surrounding loops to reorganize catalytically crucial residues in the active site. Furthermore, Y435 is required for the interaction with p38 MAPK and JNK, thereby promoting dephosphorylation. Collectively, these results demonstrate critical roles for the allosteric site in coordinating both MKP5 catalysis and MAPK binding.
