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 order to understand the biological properties of the immune systems of waterfowl and to establish a system for structural studies of duck class I major histocompatibility complex (DuMHC I), a complex of DuMHC I with duck beta(2)-microglobulin (Dubeta(2)m) and the peptide AEIEDLIF (AF8) derived from H5N1 NP residues 251-258 was assembled. The complex was crystallized; the crystals belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 54.7, b = 72.4, c = 102.2 A, and diffracted to 2.3 A resolution. Matthews coefficient calculation and initial structure determination by molecular replacement showed that the crystals did not contain the whole DuMHC I complex, but instead contained the DuMHC I alpha3 domain and a Dubeta2m molecule (DuMHC I alpha3+beta2m). Another complex of DuMHC I with the peptide IDWFDGKE derived from a chicken fusion protein also generated the same results. The stable structure of DuMHC I alpha3+beta2m may reflect some unique characteristics of DuMHC I and pave the way for novel MHC structure-related studies in the future.
