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 functional role of three conserved amino acid residues in Proteus mirabilis glutathione S-transferase B1-1 (PmGST B1-1) has been investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Crystallographic analyses indicated that Glu(65), Ser(103) and Glu(104) are in hydrogen-bonding distance of the N-terminal amino group of the gamma-glutamyl moiety of the co-substrate, GSH. Glu(65) was mutated to either aspartic acid or leucine, and Ser(103) and Glu(104) were both mutated to alanine. Glu(65) mutants (Glu(65)-->Asp and Glu(65)-->Leu) lost all enzyme activity, and a drastic decrease in catalytic efficiency was observed for Ser(103)-->Ala and Glu(104)-->Ala mutants toward both 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and GSH. On the other hand, all mutants displayed similar intrinsic fluorescence, CD spectra and thermal stability, indicating that the mutations did not affect the structural integrity of the enzyme. Taken together, these results indicate that Ser(103) and Glu(104) are significantly involved in the interaction with GSH at the active site of PmGST B1-1, whereas Glu(65) is crucial for catalysis.
