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

Protein dynamics can be studied by NMR measurements of aqueous dilute liquid crystalline samples. However, the measured residual dipolar couplings are sensitive not only to internal fluctuations but to all changes in internuclear vectors relative to the laboratory frame. We show that side-chain fluctuations and bond librations in the ps-ns time scale perturb the molecular shape and charge distribution of a small globular protein sufficiently to cause a noticeable variation in the molecular alignment. The alignment variation disperses the bond vectors of a conformational ensemble even further from the dispersion already caused by internal fluctuations of a protein. Consequently RDC-probed order parameters are lower than those obtained by laboratory frame relaxation measurements.
