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

Allosteric regulation is crucial for the operation of protein machines and molecular motors. A major challenge is to characterize and quantify the information exchange underlying allosteric communication between remote functional sites in a protein, and to identify the involved relevant pathways. We review applications of two topical approaches of dynamical protein modeling, a kinetic-based single-molecule stochastic model, which employs information thermodynamics to quantify allosteric interactions, and structure-based coarse-grained modeling to characterize intra-molecular couplings in terms of conformational motions and propagating mechanical strain. Both descriptions resolve the directionality of allosteric responses within a protein, emphasizing the concept of causality as the principal hallmark of protein allostery. We discuss the application of techniques from information thermodynamics to dynamic protein elastic networks and evolutionary designed model structures, and the ramifications for protein allostery.
