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 objectives of this work were to express the EC5 domain of E-cadherin and determine its structural characteristics as well as to evaluate the binding properties of HAV and BLG4 peptides to EC5 using spectroscopic methods. Homophilic interactions of E-cadherins are responsible for cell-cell adhesion in the adherens junctions of the biological barriers (i.e. intestinal mucosa and blood-brain barriers). The EC5 domain of E-cadherin has an important role in T-cell adhesion to intestinal mucosa via alpha(E)beta(7) integrin-E-cadherin interactions. In this study, the expressed EC5 has a high thermal stability (T(m) = 64.3 degrees C); it also has two stable conformations at room temperature, which convert to one conformation at approximately 54.5 degrees C. NMR and FTIR showed that HAV and BLG4 peptides bind to EC5. HSQC-NMR showed that either Asn or Gln of EC5 was involved in the interactions with HAV and BLG4 peptides. EC5 underwent a conformational change upon interaction with the HAV and BLG4 peptides. Finally, the binding properties of both peptides were modeled by docking experiments, and the results suggest that Asn-46 and Asn-75 of EC5 could be involved during the interaction with the peptides and that the Ser and Trp residues of the HAV and BLG4 peptides, respectively, were important for binding to EC5.
