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 report a normal-mode method for anisotropic refinement of membrane-protein structures, based on a hypothesis that the global near-native-state disordering of membrane proteins in crystals follows low-frequency normal modes. Thus, a small set of modes is sufficient to represent the anisotropic thermal motions in X-ray crystallographic refinement. By applying the method to potassium channel KcsA at 3.2 A, we obtained a structural model with an improved fit with the diffraction data. Moreover, the improved electron density maps allowed for large structural adjustments for 12 residues in each subunit, including the rebuilding of 3 missing side chains. Overall, the anisotropic KcsA structure at 3.2 A was systematically closer to a 2.0 A KcsA structure, especially in the selectivity filter. Furthermore, the anisotropic thermal ellipsoids from the refinement revealed functionally relevant structural flexibility. We expect this method to be a valuable tool for structural refinement of many membrane proteins with moderate-resolution diffraction data.
