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

Protein thermal aggregation plays a crucial role in protein science and engineering. Despite its biological importance, little is known about the mechanism and pathway(s) involved in the formation of aggregates. In this report, the sequential events occurring during thermal unfolding and aggregation process of hemoglobin were studied by two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopy. Analysis of the infrared spectra recorded at different temperatures suggested that hemoglobin denatured by a two-stage thermal transition. At the initial structural perturbation stage (30-44 degrees C), the fast red shift of the band from alpha-helix indicated that the native helical structures became more and more solvent-exposed as temperature increased. At the thermal unfolding stage (44-54 degrees C), the unfolding of solvent-exposed helical structures dominated the transition and was supposed to be responsible to the start of aggregation. At the thermal aggregation stage (54-70 degrees C), the transition was dominated by the formation of aggregates and the further unfolding of the buried structures. A close inspection of the sequential events occurring at different stages suggested that protein thermal aggregation involves distinct regions.
