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

The SCAN domain is a conserved region of 84 residues found predominantly in zinc finger DNA-binding proteins in vertebrates. The SCAN domain appears to control the association of SCAN domain containing proteins into noncovalent complexes and may be the primary mechanism underlying partner choice in the oligomerization of these transcription factors. Here we have overexpressed, purified, and characterized the isolated SCAN domain (amino acids 37-132) from ZNF174. Both size exclusion chromatography and equilibrium sedimentation analysis demonstrate that the ZNF174 SCAN domain forms a homodimer. Circular dichroism shows that the isolated SCAN domain dimer has approximately 42% alpha-helix. Thermal denaturation experiments indicate that the SCAN domain undergoes a single reversible unfolding transition with a T(m) of over 70 degrees C. The midpoint of the equilibrium unfolding transition increases with increasing protein concentration, consistent with a two-state unfolding transition in which folded dimer is in equilibrium with unfolded monomer. These findings demonstrate that the isolated SCAN domain forms a stable dimer and support a model in which the SCAN domain is capable of mediating the selective dimerization of a large family of vertebrate-specific, zinc finger-containing transcription factors.
