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

The purification of membrane proteins can be challenging due to their low solubility in conventional detergents and/or chaotropic solutions. The introduction of fusion systems that promote the formation of inclusion bodies has facilitated the over-expression of membrane proteins. In this protocol, we describe the use of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as an aid in the purification of highly hydrophobic membrane proteins expressed as inclusion bodies. The advantage of utilizing PFOA is threefold: first, PFOA is able to reliably solubilize inclusion bodies, second, PFOA is compatible with nickel affinity chromatography, and third, PFOA can be efficiently dialyzed away to produce a detergent free sample. To demonstrate the utility of employing PFOA, we expressed and purified a segment of the extremely hydrophobic membrane protein caveolin-1.
