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

Staphylococcal nuclease (SNase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of DNA and RNA in a calcium-dependent fashion. We used AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy to investigate the mechanical stability of SNase alone and in its complex with an SNase inhibitor, deoxythymidine 3',5'-bisphosphate. We found that the enzyme unfolds in an all-or-none fashion at ∼26 pN. Upon binding to the inhibitor, the mechanical unfolding forces of the enzyme-inhibitor complex increase to ∼50 pN. This inhibitor-induced increase in the mechanical stability of the enzyme is consistent with the increased thermodynamical stability of the complex over that of SNase. Because of its strong mechanical response to inhibitor binding, SNase, a model protein folding system, offers a unique opportunity for studying the relationship between enzyme mechanics and catalysis.
