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

Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) is a popular technique that exploits attached spin labels to probe the collective dynamics of biomolecules in a native environment. Like most spectroscopic approaches, DEER detects an ensemble of states accounting for biomolecular dynamics as well as the labels' intrinsic flexibility. Hence, the DEER data alone do not provide high-resolution structural information. To disentangle this variability, we introduce a minimally biased simulation method to sample a structural ensemble that reproduces multiple experimental signals within the uncertainty. In contrast to previous approaches, our method targets the raw data themselves, and thereby it brings forth an unbiased molecular interpretation of the experiments. After validation on the T4 lysozyme, we apply this technique to interpret recent DEER experiments on a membrane transporter binding protein (VcSiaP). The results highlight the large-scale conformational movement that occurs upon substrate binding and reveal that the unbound VcSiaP is more open in solution than the X-ray structure.
