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

Assembly of viruses that have hundreds of subunits or folding of proteins that have hundreds of amino acids-complex biological reactions-are often spontaneous and rapid. Here, we examine the complete set of intermediates available for the assembly of a hypothetical viruslike particle and the connectivity between these intermediates in a graph-theory-inspired study. Using a build-up procedure, assuming ideal geometry, we enumerated the complete set of 2,423,313 species for formation of an icosahedron from 30 dimeric subunits. Stability of each n-subunit intermediate was defined by the number of contacts between subunits. The probability of forming an intermediate was based on the number of paths to it from its precedecessors. When defining population subsets predicted to have the greatest impact on assembly, both stability- and probability-based criteria select a small group of compact and degenerate species; ergo, only a few hundred intermediates make a measurable contribution to assembly. Though the number of possible intermediates grows combinatorially with the number of subunits in the capsid, the number of intermediates that make a significant contribution to the reaction grows by a much smaller function, a result that may contribute to our understanding of assembly and folding reactions.
