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 two heavy chains of kinesin-1 are dimerized through extensive coiled coil regions and fold into an inactive conformation through interaction of the C-terminal tail domains with the N-terminal motor (head) domains. Although this potentially allows a dimer of tail domains to interact symmetrically with a dimer of head domains, we report here that only one of the two available monomeric tail peptides is sufficient for tight binding and inhibition of a dimer of head domains. With a dimeric tail construct, the other tail peptide does not make tight contact with the head dimer and can bind a second head dimer to form a complex containing one tail dimer and two head dimers. The IAK domain and neighboring positively charged region of the tail is sufficient for tight half-site interaction with a dimer of heads. The interaction of tails with monomeric heads is weak, but a head dimer produced by the dimerization of the neck coil is not required because an artificial dimer of head domains also binds monomeric tail peptides with half-site stoichiometry in the complete absence of the native neck coil. The binding of tail peptides to head dimers is fast and readily reversible as determined by FRET between mant-ADP bound to the head dimer and a tail labeled with GFP. The association and dissociation rates are 81 microM(-1) s(-1) and 32 s(-1), respectively. This half-site interaction suggests that the second tail peptide in a folded kinesin-1 might be available to bind other molecules while kinesin-1 remained folded.
