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

The debate about the presence and role of intermediates in the folding of proteins has been a critical issue, especially for fast folders. One of the classical methodologies to identify such metastable species is the "burst-phase analysis," whereby the observed signal amplitude from stopped-flow traces is determined as a function of denaturant concentration. However, a complication may arise when folding is sufficiently fast to jeopardize the reliability of the stopped-flow technique. In this study, we reassessed the folding of the KIX domain from cAMP Response Element-Binding (CREB)-binding protein, which has been proposed to involve the formation of an intermediate that accumulates in the dead time of the stopped flow. By using an in-house-built capillary continuous flow with a 50-μs dead time, we demonstrate that this intermediate is not present; the problem arose because of the instrumental limitation of the standard stopped flow to assess very fast refolding rate constants (e.g., ≥ 500 s⁻¹).
