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

GNA1162, a predicted lipoprotein from Neisseria meningitidis, is a potential candidate for a universal vaccine against meningococcal disease caused by N. meningitidis serogroup B. Here, the crystal structure of GNA1162 at 1.89 Å resolution determined by single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) is reported. The structure of GNA1162 appears to be a dimer in the crystallographic asymmetric unit as well as in solution. The overall structure of the dimer indicates that each monomer inserts its C-terminal α5 helix into the hydrophobic groove of the other molecule. Moreover, the β4 strands of each monomer lie antiparallel to each other and interact through multiple main-chain hydrogen bonds. Through structural comparisons and operon predictions, it is hypothesized that GNA1162 is part of a transport system and assists in transport and reassembly. The crystal structure of GNA1162 sheds light on its possible function and provides potentially valuable information for the design of a vaccine against meningococcal disease.
