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

Human protein phosphatase 1 nuclear targeting subunit (PNUTS) plays critical roles in DNA repair, cell growth and survival. The N-terminal domain of PNUTS mediates interactions with Tox4 and the phosphatase and tensin homolog PTEN, which are essential for the roles of this protein. To study this N-terminal domain, we have established its recombinant overproduction in E. coli utilizing NusA fusion. Upon removal of the tag, the remaining PNUTS sample is soluble and highly pure. We have characterized the domain using circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance and analyzed its sequence using bioinformatics. All data agree in suggesting that the PNUTS N-terminal segment adopts a compact, globular fold rich in α-helical content, where the folded fraction is substantially larger than the previously annotated fold. We conclude that this domain adopts a single fold, likely being an extended form of the transcription factor S-II leucine/tryptophan conserved-motif. Thermal denaturation yielded a melting temperature of ~49.5 °C, confirming the stability of the fold. These findings pave the way for the molecular characterization of functional interactions mediated by the N-terminal region of PNUTS.
