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

Raman microscopy was used to follow conformational changes in single protein crystals. Crystals of native insulin and of the 5S and 12S subunits of the enzyme transcarboxylase showed a mixture of Raman marker bands signifying alpha-helix, beta-sheet and nonordered secondary structure. However, by reducing the S-S bonds in the insulin crystal, or by lowering the pH for the 5S crystal, or by soaking substrates into the 12S crystal, the secondary structure in each crystal became predominantly beta-sheet. The beta-form crystals could be dissolved only with difficulty and yielded high-molecular weight protein aggregates, indicating that the beta-sheet formation involves intermolecular contacts. Although their morphology appeared unchanged, the crystals no longer diffracted X-rays. Using crystals that had not been exposed to laser light, the dye thioflavin T formed highly fluorescent complexes with the "beta-transformed" crystals but not with the native crystals.
