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 α-complementation, inactive N-terminal (α-domain) and C-terminal (ω-domain) fragments of β-galactosidase associate to reconstitute the active protein. To date, the effect of α-domain size on α-complementation activity has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we compared the complementation activities of α-domains of various sizes using an in vitro system. We found that the complementation activities are similar for α-domains comprising between 45 and 229 N-terminal residues but are significantly decreased for those containing less than 37 residues. However, these smaller α-domains (15 and 25 residues) exhibited sufficient α-complementation activity for application as reporters.
