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

Tubulin-binding cofactor C stimulates GTPase activity and contributes to the release of the heterodimeric α/β-tubulin from a super-complex of tubulin monomers and two ancillary cofactors. We have determined the 2.2 Å resolution crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of tubulin-binding cofactor C from Leishmania major based on single wavelength anomalous dispersion measurements targeting a selenomethionine derivative. Although previously predicted to consist of two domains the structure is best described as a single domain dominated by a right-handed β-helix of five turns that form a triangular prism. One face of the prism is covered by the C-terminal residues leaving another face solvent exposed. Comparisons with an orthologous human GTPase activating protein match key residues involved in binding nucleotide and identify the face of the β-helix fold likely involved in interacting with the β-tubulin:GTP complex.
