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

Myosin Va (myoV) is a processive molecular motor that transports intracellular cargo along actin tracks with each head taking multiple 72-nm hand-over-hand steps. This stepping behavior was observed with a constitutively active, truncated myoV, in which the autoinhibitory interactions between the globular tail and motor domains (i.e., heads) that regulate the full-length molecule no longer exist. Without cargo at near physiologic ionic strength (100 mM KCl), full-length myoV adopts a folded (approximately 15 S), enzymatically-inhibited state that unfolds to an extended (approximately 11 S), active conformation at higher salt (250 mM). Under conditions favoring the folded, inhibited state, we show that Quantum-dot-labeled myoV exhibits two types of interaction with actin in the presence of MgATP. Most motors bind to actin and remain stationary, but surprisingly, approximately 20% are processive. The moving motors transition between a strictly gated and hand-over-hand stepping pattern typical of a constitutively active motor, and a new mode with a highly variable stepping pattern suggestive of altered gating. Each head of this partially inhibited motor takes longer-lived, short forward (35 nm) and backward (28 nm) steps, presumably due to globular tail-head interactions that modify the gating of the individual heads. This unique mechanical state may be an intermediate in the pathway between the inhibited and active states of the motor.
