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

How the primary sequence of a protein encodes conformational preferences that operate early in folding to promote efficient formation of the correct native topology is still poorly understood. To address this issue, we have prepared a set of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c variants that contain polyalanine inserts ranging from 6 to 30 residues in length near the N terminus of the protein. We study the thermodynamics and kinetics of His-heme loop formation in the denatured state at 3 and 6 M guanidine-HCl concentration. We find that polyalanine closely approximates a random coil with excluded volume giving scaling exponents, nu(3), for equilibrium loop formation of 2.26 +/- 0.13 and 1.97 +/- 0.04 in 3 and 6 M guanidine-HCl, respectively. The rate of loop breakage initially decreases and then becomes independent of loop size as would be expected for a random coil. Comparison with previously reported data for denatured state His-heme loop formation for iso-1-cytochrome c and Rhodopseudomonas palustris cytochrome c', shows that foldable sequences deviate significantly from random coil behavior and that the deviation is fold-dependent.
