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

NMR residual dipolar couplings for the S-peptide of ribonuclease A aligned in C8E5/n-octanol liquid crystals are consistent with the presence of a native-like alpha-helix structure undergoing dynamic fraying. Residues 3-13, which correspond to the first alpha-helix of ribonuclease A, show couplings that become more negative at low temperature and in the presence of salt, conditions which stabilize alpha-helical structure in the S-peptide. By contrast, dipolar couplings from the N and C termini of the peptide are close to zero and remain nearly invariant with changes in solution conditions. Torsion angle dynamics simulations using a gradient of dihedral restraint bounds that increase from the center to the ends of the peptide reproduce the experimentally observed sequence dependence of dipolar couplings. The magnitudes of residual dipolar couplings depend on the anisotropy of the solute. Native proteins often achieve nearly spherical shapes due to the hydrophobic effect. Embryonic partially folded structures such as the S-peptide alpha-helix have an intrinsically greater potential for anisotropy that can result in sizable residual dipolar couplings in the absence of long-range structure.
