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

Intramolecular protein diffusion, the motion of one part of the polypeptide chain relative to another part, is a fundamental aspect of protein folding and may modulate amyloidogenesis of disease-associated intrinsically disordered proteins. Much work has determined such diffusion coefficients using a variety of probes, but there has been an apparent discrepancy between measurements using long-range probes, such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and short-range probes, such as Trp-Cys quenching. In this work, we make both such measurements on the same protein, α-synuclein, and confirm that such discrepancy exists. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that such differences result from a diffusion coefficient that depends on the spatial distance between probes. Diffusional estimates in good quantitative agreement with experiment are obtained by accounting for the distinct distance ranges probed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer and Trp-Cys quenching.
