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

Intrinsically disordered stress proteins have been shown to act as chaperones, protecting proteins from damage caused by stresses such as freezing and thawing. Dehydration proteins (dehydrins) are intrinsically disordered stress proteins that are found in almost all land plants. They consist of a variable number of the short, semi-conserved, Y-, S-, and K-segments, with longer stretches of poorly conserved sequences in between. Previous studies have provided conflicting views on the details of the dehydrin cryoprotective mechanism of enzymes. Experiments with polyethylene glycol (PEG) have shown that PEG cryoprotective efficiency is the same as dehydrins of the same hydrodynamic radius, suggesting that the protein's disordered and polar nature is important, rather than the specific order of the residues. To further elucidate the mechanism, we created scrambled variants of the wild grape dehydrins K
