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

Allostery has been studied for many decades, yet it remains challenging to determine experimentally how it occurs at a molecular level. We have developed an approach combining isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to quantify allostery in terms of protein thermodynamics, structure and dynamics. This strategy was applied to study the interaction between aminoglycoside N-(6')-acetyltransferase-Ii and one of its substrates, acetyl coenzyme A. It was found that homotropic allostery between the two active sites of the homodimeric enzyme is modulated by opposing mechanisms. One follows a classical Koshland-Némethy-Filmer (KNF) paradigm, whereas the other follows a recently proposed mechanism in which partial unfolding of the subunits is coupled to ligand binding. Competition between folding, binding and conformational changes represents a new way to govern energetic communication between binding sites.
