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 FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) are a unique group of chaperones found in a wide variety of organisms. They perform a number of cellular functions including protein folding, regulation of cytokines, transport of steroid receptor complexes, nucleic acid binding, histone assembly, and modulation of apoptosis. These functions are mediated by specific domains that adopt distinct tertiary conformations. Using the Threading/ASSEmbly/Refinement (TASSER) approach, tertiary structures were predicted for a total of 45 FKBPs in 23 species. These models were compared with previously characterized FKBP solution structures and the predicted structures were employed to identify groups of homologous proteins. The resulting classification may be utilized to infer functional roles of newly discovered FKBPs. The three-dimensional conformations revealed that this family may have undergone several modifications throughout evolution, including loss of N- and C-terminal regions, duplication of FKBP domains as well as insertions of entire functional motifs. Docking simulations suggest that additional sequence segments outside FKBP domains may modulate the binding affinity of FKBPs to immunosuppressive drugs. The docking models also indicate the presence of a helix-loop-helix (HLH) region within a subset of FKBPs, which may be responsible for the interaction between this group of proteins and nucleic acids.
