How soft are biological helices? A measure of axial and lateral force constants in folate quadruplexes by high-pressure X-ray diffraction.
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 1 paper.
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
Alkaline folates self-associate in aqueous solutions to form columnar lyotropic phases. Such phases are made by quadruplexes, which are supramolecular helicoidal structures formed by a stacked array of folate tetramers. High-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction is used to analyze alkaline folate quadruplex stability and energetics. Diffraction data show that both inter-helical lateral and tetramer stacking distances decrease as a function of pressure. Lateral and axial quadruplex compressibilities and force constants have been derived and strong correlation between the strength of tetramer stacking and pressure effects demonstrated. In particular, quadruplex rigidity increases by changing Na+ to K+ and by adding excess KCl, as a consequence of increased stacking interactions and quadruplex elongation.
