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

Amelogenin undergoes self-assembly and plays an essential role in guiding enamel mineral formation. The leucine-rich amelogenin peptide (LRAP) is an alternative splice product of the amelogenin gene and is composed of the N terminus (containing the only phosphate group) and the C terminus of full-length amelogenin. This study was conducted to investigate further the role of phosphorylation in LRAP self-assembly in the presence and absence of calcium using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Consistent with our previous dynamic light-scattering findings for phosphorylated (+P) and non-phosphorylated (-P) LRAP, SAXS analyses revealed radii of gyration (R(g)) for LRAP(-P) (46.3-48.0 Å) that were larger than those for LRAP(+P) (25.0-27.4 Å) at pH 7.4. However, added calcium (up to 2.5 mM) induced significant increases in the R(g) of LRAP(+P) (up to 46.4 Å), while it had relatively little effect on LRAP(-P) particle size. Furthermore, SAXS analyses suggested compact folded structures for LRAP(-P) in the presence and absence of calcium, whereas the conformation of LRAP(+P) changed from an unfolded structure to a more compact structure upon the addition of calcium. We conclude that the single phosphate group in LRAP(+P) induces functionally important conformational changes, suggesting that phosphorylation may also influence amelogenin conformation and protein-mineral interactions during the early stages of amelogenesis.
