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

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a well-studied drug target and a paradigm for understanding enzyme catalysis. Preparation of pure DHFR samples, in defined ligand-bound states, is a prerequisite for in vitro studies and drug discovery efforts. We use NMR spectroscopy to monitor ligand content of human and Escherichia coli DHFR (ecDHFR), which bind different co-purifying ligands during expression in bacteria. An alternate purification strategy yields highly pure DHFR complexes, containing only the desired ligands, in the quantities required for structural studies. Interestingly, ecDHFR is bound to endogenous THF while human DHFR is bound to NADP. Consistent with these findings, a designed "humanized" mutant of ecDHFR switches binding specificity in the cell.
