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

We have expressed alpha & beta isoforms of mammalian striated muscle tropomyosin (Tm) and alpha-Tm carrying the D175N or E180G cardiomyopathy mutations. In each case the Tm carries an Ala-Ser N-terminal extension to mimic the acetylation of the native Tm. We show that these Ala-Ser modified proteins are good analogues of the native Tm in the assays used here. We go on to use an in vitro kinetic approach to define the assembly of actin filaments with the Tm isoforms with either a cardiac or a skeletal muscle troponin (cTn, skTn). With skTn the calcium sensitivity of the actin filament is the same for alpha & beta-Tm and there is little change with the mutant Tms. For cTn switching from alpha to beta-Tm causes an increase of calcium sensitivity of 0.2 pCa units. D175N is very similar to the wild type alpha-Tm and E180G shows a small increase in calcium sensitivity of about 0.1 pCa unit. The formation of the switched-off blocked-state of the actin filament is independent of the Tm isoform but does differ for cardiac versus skeletal Tn. The in vitro assays developed here provide a novel, simple and efficient method for assaying the behaviour of expressed thin filament proteins.
