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

To investigate the molecular interactions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with human ubiquitin and its unfolding mechanisms, a comparative study was conducted on the interactions of the protein in the presence and absence of SDS at different temperatures using six independent 500 ns atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Moreover, the effects of partial atomic charges on SDS aggregation and micellar structures were investigated at high SDS concentrations. The results demonstrated that human ubiquitin retains its native-like structure in the presence of SDS and pure water at 300 K, while the conformation adopts an unfolded state at a high temperature. In addition, it was found that both SDS self-assembly and the conformation of the resulting protein may have a significant effect of reducing the partial atomic charges. The simulations at 370 K provided evidence that the SDS molecules disrupted the first hydration shell and expanded the hydrophobic core of ubiquitin, resulting in complete protein unfolding. According to these results, SDS and temperature are both required to induce a completely unfolded state under ambient conditions. We believe that these findings could be useful in protein folding/unfolding studies and structural biology.
