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

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is an important protein that is involved in a variety of physiological processes in cell survival, differentiation, proliferation and maintenance. The previously reported crystal structure of mouse NGF (mNGF) in complex with lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) showed that mNGF can bind LysoPS at its dimeric interface. To expand the understanding of the structural basis for specific lipid recognition by NGF, the crystal structure of mNGF complexed with lysophosphatidylinositol (13:0 LysoPI) was solved. Interestingly, in addition to Lys88, which interacts with the head glycerol group and the phosphate group of LysoPI, as seen in the mNGF-LysoPS structure, two additional residues, Tyr52 and Arg50, were found to assist in lipid binding by forming hydrogen bonds to the inositol moiety of the LysoPI molecule. The results suggest a specific recognition mechanism of inositol group-containing lipids by NGF, which may help in the design of bioactive compounds that can be delivered by NGF.
