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

The lambda(6-85)(*) pseudo-wild type of lambda repressor fragment is a fast two-state folder (k(f) approximately 35 microsec(-1) at 58 degrees C). Previously, highly stable lambda(6-85)(*) mutants with k(f) > 30 microsec(-1) have been engineered to fold nearly or fully downhill. Stabilization of the native state by solvent tuning might also tune lambda(6-85)(*) away from two-state folding. We test this prediction by examining the folding thermodynamics and kinetics of lambda(6-85)(*) in a stabilizing solvent, 45% by weight aqueous ethylene glycol at -28 degrees C. Detection of kinetics by circular dichroism at 222 nm (sensitive to helix content) and small angle X-ray scattering (measuring the radius of gyration) shows that refolding from guanidine hydrochloride denatured conditions exhibits very different time scales for collapse and secondary structure formation: the two processes become decoupled. Collapse remains a low-barrier activated process, while the fastest of several secondary structure formation time scales approaches the downhill folding limit. Two-state folding of lambda(6-85)(*) is not a robust process.
