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

FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) measurements are commonly applied to proof protein-protein interactions. However, standard methods of live cell FRET microscopy and signal normalization only allow a principle assessment of mutual binding and are unable to deduce quantitative information of the interaction. We present an evaluation and normalization procedure for 3-filter FRET measurements, which reflects the process of complex formation by plotting FRET-saturation curves. The advantage of this approach relative to traditional signal normalizations is demonstrated by mathematical simulations. Thereby, we also identify the contribution of critical parameters such as the total amount of donor and acceptor molecules and their molar ratio. When combined with a fitting procedure, this normalization facilitates the extraction of key properties of protein complexes such as the interaction stoichiometry or the apparent affinity of the binding partners. Finally, the feasibility of our method is verified by investigating three exemplary protein complexes. Altogether, our approach offers a novel method for a quantitative analysis of protein interactions by 3-filter FRET microscopy, as well as flow cytometry. To facilitate the application of this method, we created macros and routines for the programs ImageJ, R and MS-Excel, which we make publicly available.
