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

Globins are respiratory proteins that reversibly bind dioxygen and other small ligands at the iron of a heme prosthetic group. Hemoglobin and myoglobin are the most prominent members of this protein family. Unexpectedly a few years ago a new member was discovered and called neuroglobin (Ngb), being predominantly expressed in the brain. Ngb is a single polypeptide of 151 amino acids and despite the small sequence similarity with other globins, it displays the typical globin fold. Oxygen, nitric oxide, or carbon monoxide can displace the distal histidine which, in ferrous Ngb as well as in ferric Ngb, is bound to the iron, yielding a reversible adduct. Recent crystallographic data on carboxy Ngb show that binding of an exogenous ligand is associated to structural changes involving heme sliding and a topological reorganization of the internal cavities; in particular, the huge internal tunnel that connects the bulk with the active site, peculiar to Ngb, is heavily reorganized. We report the results of extended (90 ns) molecular dynamics simulations in water of ferrous deoxy and carboxy murine neuroglobin, which are both coordinated on the distal site, in the latter case by CO and in the former one by the distal His(64)(E7). The long timescale of the simulations allowed us to characterize the equilibrated protein dynamics and to compare protein structure and dynamical behavior coupled to the binding of an exogenous ligand. We have characterized the heme sliding motion, the topological reorganization of the internal cavities, the dynamics of the distal histidine, and particularly the conformational change of the CD loop, whose flexibility depends ligand binding.
