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

TRiC/CCT assists the folding of ∼10% of cytosolic proteins through an ATP-driven conformational cycle and is essential in maintaining protein homeostasis. Here, we determined an ensemble of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of yeast TRiC at various nucleotide concentrations, with 4 open-state maps resolved at near-atomic resolutions, and a closed-state map at atomic resolution, revealing an extra layer of an unforeseen N-terminal allosteric network. We found that, during TRiC ring closure, the CCT7 subunit moves first, responding to nucleotide binding; CCT4 is the last to bind ATP, serving as an ATP sensor; and CCT8 remains ADP-bound and is hardly involved in the ATPase-cycle in our experimental conditions; overall, yeast TRiC consumes nucleotide in a 2-ring positively coordinated manner. Our results depict a thorough picture of the TRiC conformational landscape and its allosteric transitions from the open to closed states in more structural detail and offer insights into TRiC subunit specificity in ATP consumption and ring closure, and potentially in substrate processing.
