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

Structural transition among various forms of proteins involves subtle interplay between structure and dynamics and is crucial in human diseases. Red edge excitation shift (REES) represents a suitable approach to explore the environmental organization and dynamics surrounding tryptophan residues in proteins. Although REES from tryptophan residues has been reported for native, molten globule and denatured states of proteins, such data on the amyloid form of proteins is lacking. κ-casein is one of the most important constituents of casein micelles in milk and has a tendency to form amyloid fibril. We report here REES of the sole tryptophan residue for native, acid-denatured and urea-denatured forms of κ-casein. More importantly, we show that the amyloid form of κ-casein displays REES of 4 nm. We analyze these results in terms of tryptophan microenvironment in various forms of κ-casein, particularly the amyloid form. We conclude that REES is a sensitive tool to monitor structural plasticity in proteins.
