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

Kinesin-1 is a homodimeric motor protein that can move along microtubule filaments by hydrolyzing ATP with a high processivity. How the two motor domains are coordinated to achieve such high processivity is not clear. To address this issue, we computationally studied the run length of the dimer with our proposed model. The computational data quantitatively reproduced the puzzling experimental data, including the dramatically asymmetric character of the run length with respect to the direction of external load acting on the coiled-coil stalk, the enhancement of the run length by addition of phosphate, and the contrary features of the run length for different types of kinesin-1 with extensions of their neck linkers compared with those without extension of the neck linker. The computational data on other aspects of the movement dynamics such as velocity and durations of one-head-bound and two-head-bound states in a mechanochemical coupling cycle were also in quantitative agreement with the available experimental data. Moreover, predicted results are provided on dependence of the run length upon external load acting on one head of the dimer, which can be easily tested in the future using single-molecule optical trapping assays.
