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 strength of key interfacial contacts that stabilize protein-protein interactions have been studied by computer simulation. Experimentally, changes in the interface are evaluated by generating specific mutations at one or more points of the protein structure. Here, such an evaluation is performed by means of steered molecular dynamics and use of a dimeric model of tryptophan repressor and in-silico mutants as a test case. Analysis of four particular cases shows that, in principle, it is possible to distinguish between wild-type and mutant forms by examination of the total energy and force-extension profiles. In particular, detailed atomic level structural analysis indicates that specific mutations at the interface of the dimeric model (positions 19 and 39) alter interactions that appear in the wild-type form of tryptophan repressor, reducing the energy and force required to separate both subunits.
