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

Nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat-containing receptors (NLRs) are key proteins in the innate immune system. The 14 members of the NLRP family of NLRs contain an N-terminal pyrin domain which is central for complex formation and signal transduction. Recently, X-ray structures of NLRP14 revealed an unexpected rearrangement of the α5/6 stem-helix of the pyrin domain allowing a novel symmetric dimerization mode. We characterize the conformational transitions underlying NLRP oligomerization using molecular dynamics simulations. We describe conformational stability of native NLRP14 and mutants in their monomeric and dimeric states and compare them to NLRP4, a representative of a native pyrin domain fold. Thereby, we characterize the interplay of conformational dynamics, fold stability, and dimerization in NLRP pyrin domains. We show that intrinsic flexibility of NLRP pyrin domains is a key factor influencing their behavior in physiological conditions. Additionally, we provide further evidence for the crucial importance of a charge relay system within NLRPs that critically influences their conformational ensemble in solution.
