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

Nascent polypeptide associated complex (NAC) and its two isolated subunits, αNAC and βNAC, play important roles in nascent peptide targeting. We determined a 1.9 Å resolution crystal structure of the interaction core of NAC heterodimer and a 2.4 Å resolution crystal structure of αNAC NAC domain homodimer. These structures provide detailed information of NAC heterodimerization and αNAC homodimerization. We found that the NAC domains of αNAC and βNAC share very similar folding despite of their relative low identity of amino acid sequences. Furthermore, different electric charge distributions of the two subunits at the NAC interface provide an explanation to the observation that the heterodimer of NAC complex is more stable than the single subunit homodimer. In addition, we successfully built a βNAC NAC domain homodimer model based on homologous modeling, suggesting that NAC domain dimerization is a general property of the NAC family. These 3D structures allow further studies on structure-function relationship of NAC.
