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

The contractile and enzymatic activities of myosin VI are regulated by calcium binding to associated calmodulin (CaM) light chains. We have used transient phosphorescence anisotropy to monitor the microsecond rotational dynamics of erythrosin-iodoacetamide-labeled actin with strongly bound myosin VI (MVI) and to evaluate the effect of MVI-bound CaM light chain on actin filament dynamics. MVI binding lowers the amplitude but accelerates actin filament microsecond dynamics in a Ca(2+)- and CaM-dependent manner, as indicated from an increase in the final anisotropy and a decrease in the correlation time of transient phosphorescence anisotropy decays. MVI with bound apo-CaM or Ca(2+)-CaM weakly affects actin filament microsecond dynamics, relative to other myosins (e.g., muscle myosin II and myosin Va). CaM dissociation from bound MVI damps filament rotational dynamics (i.e., increases the torsional rigidity), such that the perturbation is comparable to that induced by other characterized myosins. Analysis of individual actin filament shape fluctuations imaged by fluorescence microscopy reveals a correlated effect on filament bending mechanics. These data support a model in which Ca(2+)-dependent CaM binding to the IQ domain of MVI is linked to an allosteric reorganization of the actin binding site(s), which alters the structural dynamics and the mechanical rigidity of actin filaments. Such modulation of filament dynamics may contribute to the Ca(2)(+)- and CaM-dependent regulation of myosin VI motility and ATP utilization.
