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

An Escherichia coli plasmid vector for the high-level expression of hydrophobic membrane proteins is described. The plasmid, pBCL, directs the expression of a target polypeptide fused to the C terminus of a mutant form of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, Bcl-XL, where the hydrophobic C terminus has been deleted, and Met residues have been mutated to Leu to facilitate CNBr cleavage after a single Met inserted at the beginning of the target sequence. Fusion protein expression is in inclusion bodies, simplifying the protein purification steps. Here we report the high-level production of PLM, a membrane protein that is a member of the FXYD family of tissue-specific and physiological-state-specific auxiliary subunits of the Na,K-ATPase, expressed abundantly in heart and skeletal muscle. We demonstrate that milligram quantities of pure, isotopically labeled protein can be obtained easily and in little time with this system.
