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

A deficiency of functional dystrophin protein in muscle cells causes muscular dystrophy (MD). More than 50% of missense mutations that trigger the disease occur in the N-terminal actin binding domain (N-ABD or ABD1). We examined the effect of four disease-causing mutations--L54R, A168D, A171P, and Y231N--on the structural and biophysical properties of isolated N-ABD. Our results indicate that N-ABD is a monomeric, well-folded alpha-helical protein in solution, as is evident from its alpha-helical circular dichroism spectrum, blue shift of the native state tryptophan fluorescence, well-dispersed amide crosspeaks in 2D NMR (15)N-(1)H HSQC fingerprint region, and rotational correlation time calculated from NMR longitudinal (T(1)) and transverse (T(2)) relaxation experiments. Compared to WT, three mutants--L54R, A168D, and A171P--show a decreased alpha-helicity and do not show a cooperative sigmoidal melt with temperature, indicating that these mutations exist in a wide range of conformations or in a "molten globule" state. In contrast, Y231N has an alpha-helical content similar to WT and shows a cooperative sigmoidal temperature melt but with a decreased stability. All four mutants experience serious misfolding and aggregation. FT-IR, circular dichroism, increase in thioflavin T fluorescence, and the congo red spectral shift and birefringence show that these aggregates contain intermolecular cross-beta structure similar to that found in amyloid diseases. These results indicate that disease-causing mutants affect N-ABD structure by decreasing its thermodynamic stability and increasing its misfolding, thereby decreasing the net functional dystrophin concentration.
