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

We explore the consequences of very high dimensionality in the dynamical landscape of protein folding. Consideration of both typical range of stabilizing interactions, and folding rates themselves, leads to a model of the energy hypersurface that is characterized by the structure of diffusive "hypergutters" as well as the familiar "funnels". Several general predictions result: 1), intermediate subspaces of configurations will always be visited; 2), specific but nonnative interactions may be important in stabilizing these low-dimensional diffusive searches on the folding pathway, as well as native interactions; 3), sequential barriers will commonly be found, even in "two-state" proteins; 4), very early times will show characteristic departures from single-exponential kinetics; and 5), contributions of nonnative interactions to Phi-values and "Chevron plots" are calculable, and may be significant. The example of a three-helix bundle is treated in more detail as an illustration. The model also shows that high-dimensional structures provide conceptual relations between different models of protein folding. It suggests that kinetic strategies for fast folding may be encoded rather generally in nonnative as well as in native interactions. The predictions are related to very recent findings in experiment and simulation.
