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

The heat induced conformational changes of calf alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were analyzed using different methods, based on fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular modeling and inactivation studies. Experimental studies were conducted in buffer solution in the temperature range between 25 and 70 °C. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation provided details on thermally induced changes in ALP structure, highlighting that heating favored the hydrophobic exposure and important alteration of the catalytic site above 60 °C. Additional information to MD data were obtained by using different fluorescence spectroscopy methods, which revealed a complex mechanism of thermal denaturation. Therefore, the emissive properties indicated an unfolding of ALP at temperatures below 60 °C, whereas at higher temperatures, the polypeptides chains fold leading to a higher exposure of Trp residues. In order to establish a structure-function relationship, the results were correlated with inactivation studies of ALP in buffer at pH 9.0. The inactivation data were fitted using a first-order kinetic model, resulting in an activation energy value of 207.26 ± 21.68 kJ · mol(-1).
