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

Ion pairs are key stabilizing interactions between oppositely charged amino acid side chains in proteins. They are often depicted as single conformer salt bridges (hydrogen-bonded ion pairs) in crystal structures, but it is unclear how dynamic they are in solution. Ion pairs are thought to be particularly important in stabilizing single α-helix (SAH) domains in solution. These highly stable domains are rich in charged residues (such as Arg, Lys, and Glu) with potential ion pairs across adjacent turns of the helix. They provide a good model system to investigate how ion pairs can contribute to protein stability. Using NMR spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray light scattering (SAXS), and molecular dynamics simulations, we provide here experimental evidence that ion pairs exist in a SAH in murine myosin 7a (residues 858-935), but that they are not fixed or long lasting.
