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

Chaperonin is a double ring-shaped oligomeric protein complex, which captures a protein in the folding intermediate state and assists its folding in an ATP-dependent manner. The chaperonin from a hyperthermophilic archaeum, Thermococcus sp. strain KS-1, is a group II chaperonin and is composed of two distinct subunits, alpha and beta. Although these subunits are highly homologous in sequence, the homo-oligomer of the beta-subunit is more thermostable than that of the alpha-subunit. To identify the region responsible for this difference in thermostability, we constructed domain-exchange mutants. The mutants containing the equatorial domain of the beta-subunit were more resistant to thermal dissociation than the mutants with that of the alpha-subunit. Thermostability of a beta-subunit mutant whose C-terminal 22 residues were replaced with those of the alpha-subunit decreased to the comparable level of that of the alpha-subunit homo-oligomer. These results indicate that the difference in thermostability between alpha- and beta-subunits mainly originates in the C-terminal residues in the equatorial domain, only where they exhibit substantial sequence difference.
