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

Ubiquitin-like proteins play important roles in diverse biological processes. In this study, we present an unexpected finding that a ubiquitin-like small archaeal modifier protein (SAMP2) from Haloferax volcanii adopts two distinct states under low ionic condition. One of these is similar to the β-grasp structure conserved in ubiquitin-like proteins from eukaryotes; the other is disordered, like prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein, Pup. Furthermore, our study reveals that the conformation of SAMP2 is dependent on ionic strength. With the increase of ion concentration, SAMP2 undergoes a conformational conversion from disorder to order, indicating that the ordered conformation is the functional form of SAMP2 under the physiological condition of H. volcanii.
