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

backgroundThe PDZ-LIM proteins are a family of signalling adaptors that interact with the actin cross-linking protein, alpha-actinin, via their PDZ domains or via internal regions between the PDZ and LIM domains. Three of the PDZ-LIM proteins have a conserved 26-residue ZM motif in the internal region, but the structure of the internal region is unknown.

resultsIn this study, using circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), we showed that the ALP internal region (residues 107-273) was largely unfolded in solution, but was able to interact with the alpha-actinin rod domain in vitro, and to co-localize with alpha-actinin on stress fibres in vivo. NMR analysis revealed that the titration of ALP with the alpha-actinin rod domain induces stabilization of ALP. A synthetic peptide (residues 175-196) that contained the N-terminal half of the ZM motif was found to interact directly with the alpha-actinin rod domain in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements. Short deletions at or before the ZM motif abrogated the localization of ALP to actin stress fibres.

conclusionThe internal region of ALP appeared to be largely unstructured but functional. The ZM motif defined part of the interaction surface between ALP and the alpha-actinin rod domain.
