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

gp55-P is a dimeric membrane protein with a single transmembrane helix that is coded by the env gene of the polycythemic strain of the spleen focus forming virus. gp55-P activates the erythropoietin (Epo) receptor through specific transmembrane helix interactions, leading to Epo-independent growth of erythroid progenitors and eventually promoting erythroleukemia. We describe the use of magic angle spinning deuterium NMR to establish the structure of the transmembrane dimer of gp55-P in model membranes. Comparison of the deuterium lineshapes of leucines in the center (Leu(396-399)) and at the ends (Leu(385), Leu(407)) of the transmembrane sequence shows that gp55-P has a right-handed crossing angle with Leu(399) packed in the dimer interface. We discuss the implications of the structure of the gp55-P transmembrane dimer for activation of the Epo receptor.
