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

Proper assembly of viruses must occur through specific interactions between capsid proteins. Many double-stranded DNA viruses and bacteriophages require internal scaffolding proteins to assemble their coat proteins into icosahedral capsids. The 303 amino acid bacteriophage P22 scaffolding protein is mostly helical, and its C-terminal helix-turn-helix (HTH) domain binds to the coat protein during virion assembly, directing the formation of an intermediate structure called the procapsid. The interaction between coat and scaffolding protein HTH domain is electrostatic, but the amino acids that form the protein-protein interface have yet to be described. In the present study, we used alanine scanning mutagenesis of charged surface residues of the C-terminal HTH domain of scaffolding protein. We have determined that P22 scaffolding protein residues R293 and K296 are crucial for binding to coat protein and that the neighboring charges are not essential but do modulate the affinity between the two proteins.
