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

C-H∙∙∙π and N-H∙∙∙π interactions can have an important contribution for protein stability. However, direct measurements of these interactions in proteins are rarely reported. In this work, we combined the mutant cycle experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize C-H∙∙∙π and N-H∙∙∙π interactions and their cooperativity in two model proteins. It is shown that the average C-H∙∙∙π interaction per residue pair is ~ -0.5 kcal/mol while the N-H∙∙∙π interaction is slightly stronger. The triple mutant box measurement indicates that N-H∙∙∙π∙∙∙C-H∙∙∙π and C-H∙∙∙π∙∙∙C-H∙∙∙π can have a positive or negative cooperativity. MD simulations suggest that the cooperativity, depending on the local environment of the interactions, mainly arises from the geometric rearrangement when the nearby interaction is perturbed.
