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

Repeat proteins contain tandem arrays of a simple structural motif. In contrast to globular proteins, repeat proteins are stabilized only by interactions between residues that are relatively close together in the sequence, with no "long-range" interactions. Our work focuses on the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR), a 34 amino acid helix-turn-helix motif found in tandem arrays in many natural proteins. Earlier, we reported the design and characterization of a series of consensus TPR (CTPR) proteins, which are built as arrays of multiple tandem copies of a 34 amino acid consensus sequence. Here, we present the results of extensive hydrogen exchange (HX) studies of the folding-unfolding behavior of two CTPR proteins (CTPR2 and CTPR3). We used HX to detect and characterize partially folded species that are populated at low frequency in the nominally folded state. We show that for both proteins the equilibrium folding-unfolding transition is non-two-state, but sequential, with the outermost helices showing a significantly higher probability than inner helices of being unfolded. We show that the experimentally observed unfolding behavior is consistent with the predictions of a simple Ising model, in which individual helices are treated as "spin-equivalents". The results that we present have general implications for our understanding of the thermodynamic properties of repeat proteins.
