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

Tva is the cellular receptor for subgroup A Rous sarcoma virus (RSV-A), and the viral receptor function is solely determined by a 40-residue motif called the LDL-A module of Tva. In this report, an integral approach of molecular, biochemical, and biophysical techniques was used to examine the role of a well-conserved tryptophan of the LDL-A module of Tva in protein folding and ligand binding. We show that substitution of tryptophan by glycine adversely affected the correct folding of the LDL-A module of Tva, with only a portion giving a calcium-binding conformation. Furthermore, we show that the misfolded LDL-A conformations of Tva could not efficiently bind to its ligand. These results indicate that this conserved tryptophan in the LDL-A module of Tva plays an important role in correct protein folding and ligand recognition. Furthermore, these results suggest that the familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) French Canadian-4 mutation is likely caused by protein misfolding of low-density lipoprotein receptor, thus explaining the defect for this class of FH.
