The role of glycine residues at the C-terminal peptide segment in antinociceptive activity: a molecular dynamics simulation.

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.
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
Elucidating structural determinants in the functional regions of toxins can provide useful knowledge for designing novel analgesic peptides. Glycine residues at the C-terminal region of the neurotoxin BmK AGP-SYPU2 from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch (BmK) have been shown to be crucial to its analgesic activity. However, there has been no research on the structure-function relationship between the C-terminal segment of this toxin and its analgesic activity. To address this issue, we performed three MD simulations: one on the native structure and the other two on mutants of that structure. Results of these calculations suggest that the existence of glycine residues at the C-terminal segment stabilizes the protruding topology of the NC domain, which is considered an important determinant of the analgesic activity of BmK AGP-SYPU2.
