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

It has been suggested that the alanine-based peptide with sequence Ac-XX-[A](7)-OO-NH(2), termed XAO where X denotes diaminobutyric acid and O denotes ornithine, exists in a predominantly polyproline-helix (P(II)) conformation in aqueous solution. In our recent work, we demonstrated that this "polyproline conformation" should be regarded as a set of local conformational states rather than as the overall conformation of the molecule. In this work, we present further evidence to support this statement. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements showed only a very small peak in the heat capacity of an aqueous solution of XAO at 57 degrees C, whereas the suggested transition to the P(II) structure should occur at approximately 30 degrees C. We also demonstrate that the temperature dependence of the (3)J(HNHalpha) coupling constants of the alanine residues can be explained qualitatively in terms of Boltzmann averaging over all local conformational states; therefore, this temperature dependence proves that a conformational transition does not occur. Canonical MD simulations with the solvent represented by the generalized Born model, and with time-averaged NMR-derived restraints, demonstrate the presence of an ensemble of structures with a substantial amount of local P(II) conformational states but not with an overall P(II) conformation.
