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

In order to deal with the dynamic ocean environment, blue mussels adhere to various surfaces via their collagenous byssal threads. PTMP1 (proximal thread matrix protein 1) is one identified matrix protein residing in the proximal thread and is capable of collagen binding. Its sequence comprises two von Willebrand factor type A-like repeats. In order to characterize the structure and domain architecture of PTMP1, recombinant protein was crystallized by vapour diffusion. The obtained crystals diffracted to 1.95 Å resolution and belonged to space group P2₁, with unit-cell parameters a=62.0, b=62.3, c=122.6 Å, β=102.2°. The Matthews coefficient suggested the presence of two monomers in the asymmetric unit and 48.3% solvent content.
