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

Using comparative modeling, we have generated structural models of 475 alpha and beta tubulins. Using these models, we observed a global, structural similarity between the tubulin isotypes. However, a number of subtle differences in the isotypes physical properties, including net electric charges, solvent accessible surface areas, and electric dipole moments were also apparent. In order to examine the roles that these properties may play in microtubule (MT) assembly and stability, we have created a model to evaluate the dipole-dipole interaction energies of varying MT lattice conformations, using human tubulin isotypes as particularly important examples. We conclude that the dipole moments of each tubulin isotype may influence their functional characteristics within the cell, resulting in differences for MT assembly kinetics and stability.
