Gain of function of immunoglobulins after partial unfolding or cofactor binding.
Article in Molecular immunology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Two recent articles in the Journal of Molecular Biology, provide strong evidence that certain intracellular proteins, mostly involved in the cellular signalling, acquire functional activity only after partial denaturation. Thus, non-native forms of such proteins acquire functional activity, while the native forms of the proteins are devoid of these activities. As described by Korzhniev (2013), the transition to non-native (non-ground state) conformer of a given protein can be induced by changes in the environment, post-translational modification, cofactor binding or spontaneous unfolding of the protein due to intrinsic thermal fluctuations. In this correspondence we would like to discuss another case of gain of functional activity of proteins after a shift from the native conformation to non-native conformation. Here we provide arguments that similar structure-function transitions may be typical for one of the most abounded plasma proteins--immunoglobulins.
