D-Loop Mutation G42A/G46A Decreases Actin Dynamics.
Article in Biomolecules, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Depolymerization and polymerization of the actin filament are indispensable in eukaryotes. The DNase I binding loop (D-loop), which forms part of the interface between the subunits in the actin filament, is an intrinsically disordered loop with a large degree of conformational freedom. Introduction of the double mutation G42A/G46A to the D-loop of the beta cytoskeletal mammalian actin restricted D-loop conformational freedom, whereas changes to the critical concentration were not large, and no major structural changes were observed. Polymerization and depolymerization rates at both ends of the filament were reduced, and cofilin binding was inhibited by the double mutation. These results indicate that the two glycines at the tip of the D-loop are important for actin dynamics, most likely by contributing to the large degree of conformational freedom.
