Review in Nature structural & molecular biology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 87 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

In recent years, improvements in experimental techniques and enhancements in computing power have revolutionized our understanding of the mechanisms of protein folding. By combining insights gained from theory, experiment and simulation we are moving toward an atomistic view of folding landscapes. Future challenges involve exploiting the knowledge gained and methods developed to enable us to elucidate a molecular description of folding dynamics in the complex environment of the cell.
