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 stability and secondary structure propensity of recombinant murine 18.5 kDa myelin basic protein (rmMBP, 176 residues) was assessed using circular dichroic and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-15N HSQC experiments) to determine the optimal sample conditions for further NMR studies (i.e., resonance assignments and protein-protein interactions). Six solvent conditions were selected based on their ability to stabilise the protein, and their tractability to currently standard solution NMR methodology. Selected solvent conditions were further characterised as functions of concentration, temperature, and pH. The results of these trials indicated that 30% TFE-d2 in H2O (v/v), pH 6.5 at 300 K, and 100 mM KCl, pH 6.5 at 277 K were the best conditions to use for future solution NMR studies of MBP. Micelles of DPC were found to be inappropriate for backbone resonance assignments of rmMBP in this instance.
