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

Earlier studies have found that the occurrence of inverse sequence identity in proteins is not indicative of three-dimensional similarity, but rather leads to different folds or unfolded proteins. Short helices, however, frequently keep their conformations when their sequences are inverted. To explore the impact of sequence inversion on long helices, revRM6, with the inverse amino-acid sequence relative to RM6, a highly stable variant of the ColE1 Rop protein, was engineered. RM6 is a highly regular four-α-helical bundle that serves as a model system for protein-folding studies. Here, the crystallization and preliminary crystallographic characterization of revRM6 are reported. The protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity and crystallized. The crystals belonged to space group P4
