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

Repeat proteins are tandem arrays of a small structural motif, in which tertiary structure is stabilized by interactions within a repeat and between neighboring repeats. Several studies have shown that this modular structure is manifest in modular thermodynamic properties. Specifically, the global stability of a repeat protein can be described by simple linear models, considering only two parameters: the stability of the individual repeated units (H) and the coupling interaction between the units (J). If the repeat units are identical, single values of H and J, together with the number of repeated units, is sufficient to completely describe the thermodynamic behavior of any protein within a series. In this work, we demonstrate how the global stability of a repeat protein can be changed, in a predictable fashion, by modifying only the H parameter. Taking a previously characterized series of consensus tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR) (CTPRa) proteins, we introduced mutations into the basic repeating unit, such that the stability of the individual repeat unit was increased, but its interaction with neighboring units was unchanged. In other words, we increased H but kept J constant. We demonstrated that the denaturation curves for a series of such repeat proteins can be fit and additional curves can be predicted by the one-dimensional Ising model in which only H has changed from the original fit for the CTPRa series. Our results show that we can significantly increase the stability of a repeat protein by rationally increasing the stability of the units (H), whereas the interaction between repeats (J) remains unchanged.
