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

background3D domain swapping is an oligomerization process in which structural elements get exchanged between subunits. This mechanism grasped interest of many researchers due to its association with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease, spongiform encephalopathy etc. Despite the biomedical relevance, very little is known about understanding this mechanism. The quest for ruling principles behind this curious phenomenon that could enable early prediction provided an impetus for our bioinformatics studies. METHODOLOGY: A novel method, HIDE, has been developed to find non-domain-swapped homologues and to identify hinge from domain-swapped oligomers. Non-domain-swapped homologues were identified from the protein structural databank for majority of the domain-swapped entries and hinge boundaries could be recognised automatically by means of successive superposition techniques. Different sequence and structural features in domain-swapped proteins and related proteins have also been analysed.

conclusionsThe HIDE algorithm was able to identify hinge region in 83% cases. Sequence and structural analyses of hinge and interfaces reveal amino acid preferences and specific conformations of residues at hinge regions, while comparing the domain-swapped and non-domain-swapped states. Interactions differ significantly between regular dimeric interfaces and interface formed at the site of domain-swapped examples. Such preferences of residues, conformations and interactions could be of predictive value.
