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

A compensatory mutation (CM) counter balances lethal effects of a deleterious mutation (DM), ensuring the persistence of both through natural selection. However, little is known about the biological aspects of CMs those restore the structural alterations of proteins caused by slightly DMs. Here, by analyzing the evolution of the UDP-glycosyltransferase 73B4 protein among monocot-dicot plants, we investigate the occurrence of CMs around slightly DMs in 3D space. Our results illustrate that CMs exhibit significantly higher tendency to occur within the range of electrostatic interaction around the slightly DMs, compared to occurring randomly in the protein.
