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

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in blood plasma. HSA is involved in the transport of hormones, fatty acids, and some other compounds, maintenance of blood pH, osmotic pressure, and many other functions. Although this protein is well studied, data about its conformational changes upon different denaturation factors are fragmentary and sometimes contradictory. This is especially true for FTIR spectroscopy data interpretation. Here, the effect of various denaturing agents on the structural state of HSA by using FTIR spectroscopy in the aqueous solutions was systematically studied. Our data suggest that the second derivative deconvolution method provides the most consistent interpretation of the obtained IR spectra. The secondary structure changes of HSA were studied depending on the concentration of the denaturing agent during acid, alkaline, and thermal denaturation. In general, the denaturation of HSA in different conditions is accompanied by a decrease in α-helical conformation and an increase in random coil conformation and the intermolecular β-strands. Meantime, some variation in the conformational changes depending on the type of the denaturation agent were also observed. The increase of β-structural conformation suggests that HSA may form amyloid-like aggregates upon the denaturation.
