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

Gelsolin is a Ca2(+)-dependent protein which severs actin filaments, caps their fast-growing ends and promotes nucleation. We report here results that delimit one of the interfaces between serum gelsolin and actin monomer. An actin-derived synthetic peptide (amino acids 305-326 of actin) coupled to a hydrophilic resin was tested for its possible interaction with gelsolin. We selected this sequence because it corresponds to a region implicated in the gelsolin-actin complex in a previous work [Boyer, Feinberg, Hue, Capony, Benyamin & Roustan (1987) Biochem. J. 248, 359-364]. We showed that this actin sequence is located at the surface of the actin molecule and observed a Ca2(+)-sensitive binding of gelsolin to this actin-derived peptide. In addition, by using a chymotryptic digest of gelsolin, we reported that only the C-terminal half of gelsolin interacts with the actin-(305-326)-peptide. These results that the Ca2(+)-sensitive interface includes both amino acids 305-326 of actin and probably amino acids 660-738 of gelsolin.
