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

Membrane protein folding, structure, and function strongly depend on a cell membrane environment, yet detailed characterization of folding within a lipid bilayer is challenging. Studies of reversible unfolding yield valuable information on the energetics of folding and on the hierarchy of interactions contributing to protein stability. Here, we devise a methodology that combines hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange and solid-state NMR (SSNMR) to follow membrane protein unfolding in lipid membranes at atomic resolution through detecting changes in the protein water-accessible surface, and concurrently monitoring the reversibility of unfolding. We obtain atomistic description of the reversible part of a thermally induced unfolding pathway of a seven-helical photoreceptor. The pathway is visualized through SSNMR-detected snapshots of H/D exchange patterns as a function of temperature, revealing the unfolding intermediate and its stabilizing factors. Our approach is transferable to other membrane proteins, and opens additional ways to characterize their unfolding and stabilizing interactions with atomic resolution.
