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

A classical dogma of molecular biology dictates that the 3D structure of a protein is necessary for its function. However, a considerable fraction of the human proteome, although functional, does not adopt a defined folded state under physiological conditions. These intrinsically disordered proteins tend to fold upon binding to their partners with a molecular mechanism that is elusive to experimental characterization. Indeed, although many hypotheses have been put forward, the functional role (if any) of disorder in these intrinsically denatured systems is still shrouded in mystery. Here, we characterize the structure of the transition state of the binding-induced folding in the reaction between the KIX domain of the CREB-binding protein and the transactivation domain of c-Myb. The analysis, based on the characterization of a series of conservative site-directed mutants, reveals a very high content of native-like structure in the transition state and indicates that the recognition between KIX and c-Myb is geometrically precise. The implications of our results in the light of previous work on intrinsically unstructured systems are discussed.
