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

Nonnative protein aggregation, which is a common feature in biotechnology, is also a clinical feature in more than 20 serious degenerative diseases. We studied the specific events of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A thermal aggregation by a combination of second derivative infrared analysis and two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopy. By comparing the events that occur in reversible and irreversible thermal unfolding processes, certain events that were related to protein aggregation were characterized. Particularly, a band that appeared at high temperatures was assigned to the cross beta-structures in oligomers. The effect of pH, NaCl, and ethanol on ribonuclease A oligomerization as well as further aggregation induced by heat were studied and dissimilar effects of these additives were found. Basic pH and NaCl could accelerate the thermal aggregation but did not affect the formation of oligomers, whereas ethanol could increase both the aggregation rate and the population of oligomers. Our results suggested that the aggregation of RNase A might be initiated by hydrophobic interactions, controlled by oligomerization and mediated by electrostatic interactions. Moreover, the strategy of using second derivative and two-dimensional infrared analysis might provide a potential powerful tool to study the events that are directly related to the initiation of protein aggregation.
