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 left-handed polyproline II helical structure (P(II)) is observed to be a dominant conformation in the disordered states of protein and small polypeptide chains, even when no prolines are present in the sequence. Recently, in work by Ferreon and Hilser, the energetics associated with Ala and Gly substitutions at a surface exposed proline site were determined calorimetrically by measuring the binding energetics of Sos peptide variants to the C-terminal Src Homology 3 domain of SEM-5. The results were interpreted as a significant conformational bias toward the bound conformation (i.e., P(II)), even when the ligand is unbound. That study was not able to determine, however, whether the conformational bias of the peptides could be explained in terms other than that of a P(II) preference. Here, we test, using a computer algorithm based on the hard sphere collision (HSC) model, the notion of whether a bias in the unbound states of the peptide ligands is specific for the P(II) conformation, or if a bias to any other region of (phi, psi) space can also result in the same observed binding energetics. The results of these computer simulations indicate that, of the regions of (phi, psi) modeled for bias in the small peptides, only the bias to the P(II) conformation, and at rates of bias similar to the experimentally observed rates, quantitatively reproduced the experimental binding energetics.
