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

While it is widely appreciated that the denatured state of a protein is a heterogeneous conformational ensemble, there is still debate over how this ensemble changes with environmental conditions. Here, we use single-molecule chemo-mechanical unfolding, which combines force and urea using the optical tweezers, together with traditional protein unfolding studies to explore how perturbants commonly used to unfold proteins (urea, force, and temperature) affect the denatured-state ensemble. We compare the urea m-values, which report on the change in solvent accessible surface area for unfolding, to probe the denatured state as a function of force, temperature, and urea. We find that while the urea- and force-induced denatured states expose similar amounts of surface area, the denatured state at high temperature and low urea concentration is more compact. To disentangle these two effects, we use destabilizing mutations that shift the T
