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

Kinetic investigation on the wild-type apomyoglobin and its 12 mutants with substitutions of hydrophobic residues by Ala was performed using stopped-flow fluorescence. Characteristics of the kinetic intermediate I and the folding nucleus were derived solely from kinetic data, namely, the slow-phase folding rate constants and the burst-phase amplitudes of Trp fluorescence intensity. This allowed us to pioneer the phi-analysis for apomyoglobin. As shown, these mutations drastically destabilized the native state N and produced minor (for conserved residues of G, H helices) or even negligible (for nonconserved residues of B, C, D, E helices) destabilizing effect on the state I. On the other hand, conserved residues of A, G, H helices made a smaller contribution to stability of the folding nucleus at the rate-limiting I-->N transition than nonconserved residues of B, D, E helices. Thus, conserved side chains of the A-, G-, H-residues become involved in the folding nucleus before crossing the main barrier, whereas nonconserved side chains of the B-, D-, E-residues join the nucleus in the course of the I-->N transition.
