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

We describe methods that have been developed within the ILL-EMBL Deuteration Laboratory for the production of maltose binding protein (MBP) that has been selectively labelled either with deuterated tryptophan or deuterated methionine (single labelling), or both (double labelling). MBP is used as an important model system for biophysical studies, and selective labelling can be helpful in the analysis of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data, neutron reflection (NR) data, and high-resolution neutron diffraction data. The selective labelling was carried out in E. coli high-cell density cultures using auxotrophic mutants in minimal medium containing the required deuterated precursors. Five types of sample were prepared and studied: (1) unmodified hydrogenated MBP (H-MBP), (2) perdeuterated MBP (D-MBP), (3) singly labelled MBP with the tryptophan residues deuterated (D-trp MBP), (4) singly labelled MBP with methionine residues deuterated (D-met MBP) and (5) doubly labelled MBP with both tryptophan and methionine residues deuterated (D-trp/met MBP). Labelled samples were characterised by size exclusion chromatography, gel electrophoresis, light scattering and mass spectroscopy. Preliminary small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments have also been carried out and show measurable differences between the SANS data recorded for the various labelled analogues. More detailed SANS experiments using these labelled MBP analogues are planned; the degree to which such data could enhance structure determination by SANS is discussed.
