Internal motions of actin characterized by quasielastic neutron scattering.
Article in European biophysics journal : EBJ, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) experiments were carried out on powders of F-actin and G-actin hydrated with D(2)O to characterize the internal dynamics on the picosecond time scale and the Ångstrom length scale. To investigate the effects of hydration, the measurements were done on samples at hydration ratio (h) of 0.4 (mg D(2)O/mg protein), containing only the first layer of hydration water, and at h = 1.0, containing more layers of water. The QENS spectra, obtained from the measurements at two energy resolutions of 110 and 15 μeV, indicated that the internal motions of both F-actin and G-actin have distributions of motions with distinct correlation times and amplitudes. Increasing hydration changes relative populations of these distinct motions. The effects of hydration were shown to be different between F-actin and G-actin. Elastic incoherent neutron scattering measurements provided the concerted results. The observed effects were interpreted in terms of the dynamical heterogeneity of the actin molecule: in G-actin, more surface loops become flexible and undergo diffusive motions of large amplitudes, whereas in F-actin the molecular interactions that keep the polymerized state suppress the large motions of the surface loops involved with polymerization so that the population of atoms undergoing large motions can increase only to a lesser degree.
