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

We describe a strategy for incorporating non-canonical amino acids site-specifically into proteins expressed in living cells, involving organic synthesis to chemically aminoacylate a suppressor tRNA, protein expression in Xenopus oocytes, and monitoring protein function, primarily by electrophysiology. With this protocol, a very wide range of non-canonical amino acids can be employed, allowing both systematic structure-function studies and the incorporation of reactive functionalities. Here, we present an overview of the methodology and examples meant to illustrate the versatility and power of the method as a tool for investigating protein structure and function.
