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 main nuclear factor kappa B transcription factor family members RelA-p50 heterodimer and RelA homodimer have different biological functions and show different transcriptional activation profiles. To investigate whether the two family members adopt a similar conformation in their free states, we performed hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, and stopped-flow binding kinetics experiments. Surprisingly, the N-terminal DNA-binding domains adopt an open conformation in RelA-p50 but a closed conformation in RelA homodimer. Both hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulations indicate the formation of an interface between the N-terminal DNA-binding domains only in the RelA homodimer. Such an interface would be expected to impede DNA binding, and stopped-flow binding kinetics show that association of DNA is slower for the homodimer as compared to the heterodimer. Our results show that the DNA-binding cavity in the RelA-p50 heterodimer is open for DNA binding, whereas in the RelA homodimer, it is occluded.
