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

A critical question about piezophilic (pressure-loving) microbes is how their constituent molecules maintain function under high pressure. Here, factors are examined that may lead to the increased activity under pressure in dihydrofolate reductase from the piezophilic Moritella profunda compared to the homologous enzyme from the mesophilic Escherichia coli. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed at various temperatures and pressures to examine how pressure affects the flexibility of the enzymes from these two microbes, since both stability and flexibility are necessary for enzyme activity. The results suggest that collective motions on the 10-ns timescale are responsible for the flexibility necessary for "corresponding states" activity at the growth conditions of the parent organism. In addition, the results suggest that while the lower stability of many enzymes from deep-sea microbes may be an adaptation for greater flexibility at low temperatures, high pressure may enhance their adaptation to low temperatures. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
