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 26S proteasome is the major eukaryotic ATP-dependent protease, yet the detailed mechanisms used by the proteasomal heterohexameric AAA+ unfoldase to drive substrate degradation remain poorly understood. To perform systematic mutational analyses of individual ATPase subunits, we heterologously expressed the unfoldase subcomplex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Escherichia coli and reconstituted the proteasome in vitro. Our studies demonstrate that the six ATPases have distinct roles in degradation, corresponding to their positions in the spiral staircases adopted by the AAA+ domains in the absence or presence of substrate. ATP hydrolysis in subunits at the top of the staircases is critical for substrate engagement and translocation. Whereas the unfoldase relies on this vertical asymmetry for substrate processing, interaction with the peptidase exhibits three-fold symmetry with contributions from alternate subunits. These diverse functional asymmetries highlight how the 26S proteasome deviates from simpler, homomeric AAA+ proteases.
