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

It is well known that proteins denature under high pressure. The mechanism that underlies such a process is still not clearly understood, however, giving way to controversial interpretations. Using molecular dynamics simulation on systems that may be regarded experimentally as limiting examples of the effect of high pressure on globular proteins, such as lysozyme and apomyoglobin, we have effectively reproduced such similarities and differences in behavior as are interpreted from experiment. From the analysis of such data, we explain the experimental evidence at hand through the effect of pressure on the change of water structure, and hence the weakening of the hydrophobic effect that is known to be the main driving force in protein folding.
