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

Acanthamoeba myosin IC (AMIC) is a single-headed myosin comprised of one heavy chain (129 kDa) and one light chain (17 kDa). The heavy chain has head, neck (light chain-binding), and tail domains. The tail consists of four subdomains: a basic region (BR) (23 kDa) and two Gly/Pro/Ala-rich (GPA) regions, GPA1 (6 kDa) and GPA2 (15 kDa), flanking an Src homology 3 region (6 kDa). Although the AMIC head is similar in sequence, structure, and function (ATPase motor) to other myosin heads, the organization of the tail has been less clear as has its function beyond an assumed role in binding interaction partners, e.g., the BR has a membrane affinity and the GPA components bind F-actin in an ATP-independent manner. To investigate the spatial arrangement of subdomains in the tail, we have used cryo-electron microscopy and image reconstruction to compare actin filaments decorated with WT AMIC and tail-truncated mutants of various lengths. The BR forms an oval-shaped feature, approximately 40 A long, that diverges obliquely from the head, extending azimuthally around the actin filament and toward its barbed end. GPA2 and GPA1 are located together on the inner (actin-proximal) side of the tail, close enough to act in concert in binding the same or another actin filament. The outer face of the BR is strategically exposed for membrane or vesicle binding.
