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

Actin is known to undergo reversible monomer-polymer transitions that coincide with various cell activities such as cell shape changes, locomotion, endocytosis and exocytosis. This dynamic state of actin filament self-assembly and disassembly is thought to be regulated by the properties of the monomeric actin molecule and in vivo by the influence of actin-associated proteins. Of major importance to the properties of the monomeric actin molecule are the presence of one tightly-bound ATP and one tightly-bound divalent cation per molecule. In vivo the divalent cation is thought to be Mg2+ (Mg-actin) but in vitro standard purification procedures result in the preparation of Ca-actin. The affinity of actin for a divalent cation at the tight binding site is in the nanomolar range, much higher than earlier thought. The binding kinetics of Mg2+ and Ca2+ at the high affinity site on actin are considered in terms of a simple competitive binding mechanism. This model adequately describes the published observations regarding divalent cation exchange on actin. The effects of the tightly-bound cation, Mg2+ or Ca2+, on nucleotide binding and exchange on actin, actin ATP hydrolysis activity and nucleation and polymerization of actin are discussed. From the characteristics that are reviewed, it is apparent that the nature of the bound divalent cation has a significant effect on the properties of actin.
