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 rapid decrease in DNA sequencing cost is revolutionizing medicine and science. In medicine, genome sequencing has revealed millions of missense variants that change protein sequences, yet we only understand the molecular and phenotypic consequences of a small fraction. Within protein science, high-throughput deep mutational scanning experiments enable us to probe thousands of variants in a single, multiplexed experiment. We review efforts that bring together these topics via experimental and computational approaches to determine the consequences of missense variants in proteins. We focus on the role of changes in protein stability as a driver for disease, and how experiments, biophysical models, and computation are providing a framework for understanding and predicting how changes in protein sequence affect cellular protein stability.
