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

β(2)-Microglobulin (β(2)m) noncovalently associates with the heavy chain of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules, which bind foreign antigen peptides to control the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immune response. In contrast to mammals, there are distinct types of β(2)ms derived from two loci in a number of teleost species. In order to clarify the structures of the β(2)ms, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) β(2)ms Dare-β(2)m-I and Dare-β(2)m-II were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized, and diffraction data were collected to 1.6 and 1.9 Å resolution, respectively. Both crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The unit-cell parameters were determined to be a = 38.2, b = 50.4, c = 50.9 Å for Dare-β(2)m-I and a = 38.9, b = 52.7, c = 65.8 Å for Dare-β(2)m-II. Each asymmetric unit was constituted of one molecule, with Matthews coefficients of 2.22 and 3.01 Å(3) Da(-1) and solvent contents of 45 and 59% for Dare-β(2)m-I and Dare-β(2)m-II, respectively. These two β(2)m structures will provide relevant information for further studies of the structures of the MHC I complex.
