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

Gliadins are well-known wheat grain proteins, particularly important in food science. They were studied as early as the 1700s. Despite their long history, it has been difficult to identify their higher-order structure as they aggregate in aqueous solution. Consequently, most studies have been performed by extracting the proteins in 70% ethanol or dilute acidic solutions. The carboxy-terminal half of α- and γ-gliadins have α-helix-rich secondary structures stabilized with intramolecular disulfide bonds, which are present in either aqueous ethanol or pure water. The amino-terminal-repeat region of α- and γ-gliadins has poly-L-proline II and β-reverse-turn structures. ω-Gliadins also have poly-L-proline II and β-reverse-turn structures, but no α-helix structure. The size and shape of gliadin molecules have been determined by assessing a variety of parameters: their sedimentation velocity in the analytical ultracentrifuge, intrinsic viscosity, small-angle X-ray scattering profile, and images of the proteins from scanning probe microscopes such as a tunneling electron microscope and atomic force microscope. Models for gliadins are either rods or prolate ellipsoids whether in aqueous ethanol, dilute acid, or pure water. Recently, gliadins have been shown to be soluble in pure water, and a novel extraction method into pure water has been established. This has made it possible to analyze gliadins in pure water at neutral pH, and permitted the characterization of hydrated gliadins. They formed hierarchical nanoscale structures with internal density fluctuations at high protein concentrations.
