Equilibrium analysis of the DNA binding domain of the ultraspiracle protein interaction with the response element from the hsp27 gene promoter--the application of molecular beacon technology.

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.
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
Ecdysteroids initiate molting and metamorphosis in insects via a receptor which belongs to the superfamily of nuclear receptors. The ecdysone receptor consists of two proteins: the ecdysone receptor (EcR) and the ultraspiracle (Usp). The EcR-Usp dimer conducts transcription through a hsp27(pal) response element. Usp acts as an anchor orienting the whole complex on the DNA. The molecular beacon methodology was applied to detect the sequence-specific DNA of a natural hsp27 (pal) or mutated protein interaction with the DNA binding domain from the Usp. The dissociation constant, K(d), of the UspDBD-hsp27 (pal) complex was determined to be 1.42+/-0.48 nM, whereas K(d) for UspDBD(DeltaA)-hsp27(pal) was 6.6+/-0.5 nM. Mutation of Val-71 for Ala blocks formation of the protein-DNA complex in contrast to Glu-19 mutation for Ala for which K(d)=4.31+/-1.01 nM. The results obtained with the molecular beacon technology are related to those obtained by fluorescence anisotropy titrations.
