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 low-frequency (1-200 cm(-1)) vibrational spectra of peptides and proteins in solution have been investigated with ultrafast optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr-effect spectroscopy (OHD-RIKES). Spectra have been obtained for di-L-alanine (ALA(2)) and the alpha-helical peptide poly-L-alanine (PLA) in dichloroacetic acid solution. The poly-L-alanine spectrum shows extra amplitude compared to the di-L-alanine spectrum, which can be explained by the secondary structure of the former. The globular proteins lysozyme, alpha-lactalbumin, pepsin, and beta-lactoglobulin in aqueous solution have been studied to determine the possible influence of secondary or tertiary structure on the low-frequency spectra. The spectra of the globular proteins have been analyzed in terms of three nondiffusive Brownian oscillators. The lowest frequency oscillator corresponds to the so-called Boson peak observed in inelastic neutron scattering (INS). The remaining two oscillators are not observed in inelastic neutron scattering, do therefore not involve significant motion of hydrogen atoms, and may be associated with delocalized backbone torsions.
