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

Pz peptidase B is an intracellular M3 metallopeptidase that is found together with Pz peptidase A in the thermophile Geobacillus collagenovorans MO-1 and recognizes collagen-specific tripeptide units (-Gly-Pro-X-). These peptidases have low homology in their primary structures; however, their cleavage patterns towards peptide substrates are similar. In this work, Pz peptidase B was crystallized using the counter-diffusion method. Data were collected to a resolution of 1.6 Å at 100 K from a crystal obtained in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM; also known as `Kibo') at the International Space Station (ISS). The crystal belonged to the trigonal space group P3(1)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 87.64, c = 210.5 Å. A complete data set was also obtained from crystals of selenomethionine-substituted protein.
