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

Proteins are inherently dynamic, flexible molecules that execute precise conformational changes to perform their functions, but existing techniques to directly measure relevant structural changes in solution at room temperature remain limited. Here, we demonstrate a structural technique using second-harmonic generation and two-photon fluorescence under single-laser excitation to map both the mean angular orientation and the distribution width of a probe at various sites throughout the protein with high sensitivity. Our work resolves distinct dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) ligand-protein conformations, allows interrogation of regions unresolvable by other techniques, and reveals structural differences between DHFR and a point mutant (DHFR-G121V). The technique, angular mapping of protein structure, enables direct and rapid determination of previously unseen aspects of protein structure in a benchtop optical system.
