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

The p7 protein encoded by the hepatitis C virus forms a cation-selective viroporin in the membrane. One of the most intriguing findings about the p7 viroporin is its unique hexameric structure in dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), but the hexameric structure was recently challenged by another NMR study of p7, also in DPC detergent, which claimed that the p7 in this detergent is monomeric. Here, we show that p7 oligomerization is highly sensitive to the detergent:protein ratio used in protein reconstitution and that the 40-fold difference in this ratio between the two studies was the cause of their different conclusions. In addition, we have performed extensive measurements of interchain paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) for p7 hexamers reconstituted in DPC micelles and in 1,2-dimyristoyl-
