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

In vitro assembly of bacteriophage P22 procapsids requires coat protein and sub-stoichiometric concentrations of the internal scaffolding protein. If there is no scaffolding protein, coat protein assembles aberrantly, but only at higher concentrations. Too much scaffolding protein results in partial procapsids. By treating the procapsid as a lattice that can bind and be stabilized by scaffolding protein we dissect procapsid assembly as a function of protein concentration and scaffolding/coat protein ratio. We observe that (i) the coat-coat association is weaker for procapsids than for aberrant polymer formation, (ii) scaffolding protein makes a small but sufficient contribution to stability to favor the procapsid form, and (iii) there are multiple classes of scaffolding protein binding sites. This approach should be applicable to other heterogeneous virus assembly reactions and will facilitate our ability to manipulate such in vitro reactions to probe assembly, and for development of nanoparticles.
