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 beta pore-forming proteins (β-PFPs) are a large class of polypeptides that are produced by all Kingdoms of life to contribute to their species' own survival. Pore assembly is a sophisticated multi-step process that includes receptor/membrane recognition and oligomerization events, and is ensued by large-scale structural rearrangements, which facilitate maturation of a prepore into a functional membrane spanning pore. A full understanding of pore formation, assembly, and maturation has traditionally been hindered by a lack of structural data; particularly for assemblies representing differing conformations of functional pores. However, recent advancements in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) techniques have provided the opportunity to delineate the structures of such flexible complexes, and in different states, to near-atomic resolution. In this review, we place a particular emphasis on the use of cryo-EM to uncover the mechanistic details including architecture, activation, and maturation for some of the prominent members of this family.
