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

To overcome the laborious identification of crystallisation conditions for protein X-ray crystallography, we developed a method where the examined protein is immobilised as a guest molecule in a universal host lattice. We applied crystal engineering to create a generic crystalline host lattice under reproducible, predefined conditions and analysed the structures of target guest molecules of different size, namely two 15-mer peptides and green fluorescent protein (sfGFP). A fusion protein with an N-terminal endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (EngBF) domain and a C-terminal designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin) domain establishes the crystal lattice. The target is recruited into the host lattice, always in the same crystal form, through binding to the DARPin. The target structures can be determined rapidly from difference Fourier maps, whose quality depends on the size of the target and the orientation of the DARPin.
