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

Protein disulfide oxidoreductases (PDOs) are proteins involved in disulfide bond formation playing a crucial role in adaptation to extreme environment. This paper reports the functional and structural characterization of Sso1120, a PDO from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus. The protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The functional characterization showed that the enzyme has reductase activity, as tested by insulin assay, but differently from the other PDOs, it does not present isomerase activity. In addition it is able to form a redox couple with the thioredoxin reductase that could be used in undiscovered pathways. The protein revealed a melting point of around 90 °C in CD spectroscopy-monitored thermal denaturation and high denaturant resistance. The X-ray crystallographic structure was solved at 1.80 Å resolution, showing differences with respect to other PDOs and an unexpected similarity with the N-terminal domain of the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase F component from Salmonella typhimurium. On the basis of the reported data and of bioinformatics and phylogenetic analyses, a possible involvement of this atypical PDO in a new antioxidant system of S. solfataricus has been proposed.
