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

A search for strategies was conducted in order to obtain a human protein kinase CK2 preparation which would be suitable for crystallization, despite the fact that the recombinant enzyme is abundant and can be readily purified to homogeneity. This seemingly contradiction is based on the fact that the catalytic subunit moiety of the human CK2 holoenzyme is not stable neither as a free subunit nor in the tetrameric complex. All attempts to prevent degradation failed. Hence, alternative approaches were designed in order to avoid this degradation, which was expected to hamper any crystallization efforts severely. One of the approaches chosen was the production of a chimeric holoenzyme made up from a human regulatory subunit and a catalytic subunit from Z. mays. The plant catalytic subunit, in contrast to the human counterpart is very stable and does not undergo this kind of degradation. The second strategy to tackle the problem of instability was to produce the homologous recombinant human CK2 holoenzyme and then, instead of trying to avoid degradation, attempt to accelerate degradation until all catalytic subunit material was converted to the degraded form, i.e. a 40 kDa polypeptide.
