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

The interaction between benzophenone (BP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by the methods of fluorescence spectroscopy combined with UV-Vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) measurements under simulative physiological conditions. The experiment results showed that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by BP was resulted from the formation of a BP-BSA complex and the corresponding association constants (Ka) between BP and BSA at four different temperatures had been determined using the modified Stern-Volmer equation. The enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated to be -43.73 kJ mol(-1) and -53.05 J mol(-1) K(-1), respectively, which suggested that hydrogen bond and van der Waals force played major roles in stabilizing the BP-BSA complex. Site marker competitive experiments indicated that the binding of BP to BSA primarily took place in site I (sub-domain IIA). The conformational investigation showed that the presence of BP decreased the α-helical content of BSA and induced the slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein, which confirmed some micro-environmental and conformational changes of BSA molecules.
