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 nuclease domain of colicin E7 (NColE7) cleaves DNA nonspecifically. The active center is a Zn(2+)-containing HNH motif at the C-terminus. The N-terminal loop is essential for the catalytic activity providing opportunity for allosteric modulation of the enzyme. To identify the key residues responsible for the structural integrity of NColE7, a virtual alanine scan was performed on a semiempirical quantum chemical level within the 25 residue long N-terminal sequence (446-470). Based on the calculations the T454A/K458A/W464A-NColE7 triple mutant (TKW) was expressed and purified. According to the agarose gel electrophoresis experiments and linear dichroism spectra the catalytic activity of the TKW mutant decreased in comparison with wild-type NColE7. The distorted structure and weakened Zn(2+) binding may account for this as revealed by circular dichroism spectra, mass spectrometry, fluorescence-based thermal analysis and isothermal microcalorimetric titrations. Remarkably, the substrate induced the folding of the mutant protein.
