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

We have carried out a thorough and systematic sequence-structure study on how the pattern of conservation at the interface differs from the noninteracting surface in seven proteases and their inhibitors. As expected, the interface of a protease could be easily distinguished from the noninteracting surface by a concentrated area of conservation. In contrast, there was less distinction to be made between the interface and the noninteracting surface of inhibitors, and in five of the seven cases, a higher proportion of the interface area was variable compared to the rest of the surface. This is likely to cause a problem for binding-site prediction methods that assume the largest cluster of highly conserved residues on the surface of a protein corresponds to the interface. We conclude that such methods would succeed when applied to our protease test cases, but complications could arise with the inhibitors. These results also impact on methods to solve the protein-protein docking problem that use conservation at the interface to provide the location of the two protein binding sites prior to application of the docking algorithm.
