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

The kinetics of conformational change in the N-terminal region of photoactive yellow protein (PYP) was studied by the time-resolved diffusion measurement. The transient grating signal that represented the protein diffusion of the ground state and pB state depended on the observation time range. An analysis of the signal based on the time-dependent diffusion coefficient clearly showed that protein diffusion changed with a time constant of 170 micros, corresponding to the pR(2) --> pB' transition. Since a previous diffusion study of N-terminal truncated PYPs had revealed that the change in the diffusion coefficient reflected the unfolding of the alpha-helices in the N-terminal region of PYP, the results indicate that this unfolding took place at the same rate as the pR(2) --> pB' transition. This demonstrates that the response of the conformational change in the N-terminal region was quite fast, probably due to changes in a specific hydrogen-bonding network of this domain.
