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

Amelogenin is the predominant protein found during enamel development and is thought to be the biomineralization protein controlling the unique elongated hydroxyapatite crystals that constitute enamel. The secondary structure of biomineralization proteins is thought to be important in the interaction with hydroxyapatite. Unfortunately, very little data are available on the structure or the orientation of amelogenin, either in solution or bound to hydroxyapatite. The C-terminus contains the majority of the charged residues and is predicted to interact with hydroxyapatite; thus, we used solid-state NMR dipolar recoupling techniques to investigate the structure and orientation of the C-terminus of LRAP, a naturally occurring splice variant of full-length amelogenin. Using (13)C{(15)N} Rotational Echo DOuble Resonance (REDOR), the structure of the C-terminus was found to be largely random coil, both on the surface of hydroxyapatite as well as lyophilized from solution. The orientation of the C-terminal region with respect to hydroxyapatite was investigated for two alanine residues (Ala(46) and Ala(49)) using (13)C{(31)P} REDOR and one lysine residue (Lys(52)) using (15)N{(31)P} REDOR. The residues examined were found to be 7.0, 5.7, and 5.8 A from the surface of hydroxyapatite for Ala(46), Ala(49), and Lys(52), respectively. This provides direct evidence that the charged C-terminus is interacting closely with hydroxyapatite, positioning the acidic amino acids to aid in controlling crystal growth. However, solid-state NMR dynamics measurements also revealed significant mobility in the C-terminal region of the protein, in both the side chains and the backbone, suggesting that this region alone is not responsible for binding.
