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

A new method for predicting interacting residues in protein complexes, InterProSurf, was applied to the E1 envelope protein of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEEV). Monomeric and trimeric models of VEEV-E1 were constructed with our MPACK program, using the crystal structure of the E1 protein of Semliki forest virus as a template. An alignment of the E1 sequences from representative alphavirus sequences was used to determine physical chemical property motifs (likely functional areas) with our PCPMer program. Information on residue variability, propensity to be in protein interfaces, and surface exposure on the model was combined to predict surface clusters likely to interact with other viral or cellular proteins. Mutagenesis of these clusters indicated that the predictions accurately detected areas crucial for virus infection. In addition to the fusion peptide area in domain 2, at least two other surface areas play an important role in virus infection. We propose that these may be sites of interaction between the E1-E1 and E1-E2 subdomains of the envelope proteins that are required to assemble the functional unit. The InterProSurf method is, thus, an important new tool for predicting viral protein interactions. These results can aid in the design of new vaccines against alphaviruses and other viruses.
