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 universe of conformational substates of a protein molecule is huge. The complete energy landscape of proteins is, therefore, complex when studied at low temperature. Many experiments under physiological conditions commonly reveal a simpler spectrum of states. These states are individually ensembles of low temperature substates. That is, room temperature experiments probe the low free energy part of the spectrum of excitations. This paper describes how the complete landscape and the spectrum of these thermally excited motions can be related to each other. On funneled landscapes, partially folded ensembles of states are the most important excited states. Their properties and their free energy spectrum can often be predicted by native topology based models. Frustration, i.e., the conflict between inconsistent stabilizing interactions that have evolved for other purposes than optimizing folding, offers another mechanism for forming low free energy excitations. Frustration can be localized and quantified using energy landscape theory. Symmetry provides an obvious route to low free energy states in oligomeric systems, where simply repositioning parts of the molecule in ways quasi-equivalent to their relation in the native structure gives nearly degenerate energies.
