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

Glycosylated human leukocyte elastase (HLE) was crystallized and structurally analysed in complex with a 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivative that had been identified as an HLE inhibitor in preliminary studies. In contrast to previously described HLE structures with small-molecule inhibitors, in this structure the inhibitor does not bind to the S1 and S2 substrate-recognition sites; rather, this is the first HLE structure with a synthetic inhibitor in which the S2' site is blocked that normally binds the second side chain at the C-terminal side of the scissile peptide bond in a substrate protein. The inhibitor also induces the formation of crystalline HLE dimers that block access to the active sites and that are also predicted to be stable in solution. Neither such HLE dimers nor the corresponding crystal packing have been observed in previous HLE crystal structures. This novel crystalline environment contributes to the observation that comparatively large parts of the N-glycan chains of HLE are defined by electron density. The final HLE structure contains the largest structurally defined carbohydrate trees among currently available HLE structures.
