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

Certain proteins of unicellular organisms are translated as precursor polypeptides containing inteins (intervening proteins), which are domains capable of performing protein splicing. These domains, in conjunction with a single residue following the intein, catalyze their own excision from the surrounding protein (extein) in a multistep reaction involving the cleavage of two intein-extein peptide bonds and the formation of a new peptide bond that ligates the two exteins to yield the mature protein. We report here the solution NMR structure of a 186-residue precursor of the KlbA intein from Methanococcus jannaschii, comprising the intein together with N- and C-extein segments of 7 and 11 residues, respectively. The intein is shown to adopt a single, well-defined globular domain, representing a HINT (Hedgehog/Intein)-type topology. Fourteen beta-strands are arranged in a complex fold that includes four beta-hairpins and an antiparallel beta-ribbon, and there is one alpha-helix, which is packed against the beta-ribbon, and one turn of 3(10)-helix in the loop between the beta-strands 8 and 9. The two extein segments show increased disorder, and form only minimal nonbonding contacts with the intein domain. Structure-based mutation experiments resulted in a proposal for functional roles of individual residues in the intein catalytic mechanism.
