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

Purification of dynamin-related proteins is complicated by their oligomeric tendencies. In this chapter, we describe an established purification regime to isolate the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1 using bacterial expression. Key attributes of dynamins include their ability to hydrolyze GTP and self-assemble into larger polymers under specific conditions. Therefore, the GTPase activity of Drp1 should be examined to confirm isolation of functional protein, and we describe a conventional colorimetric assay to assess enzyme activity. To determine the ability of Drp1 to self-assemble, we induce Drp1 polymerization through addition of a non-hydrolyzable GTP analogue. A sedimentation assay provides a quantitative measure of polymerization that complements a qualitative assessment through visualization of Drp1 oligomers using negative-stain electron microscopy (EM). Importantly, we highlight the caveats of affinity tags and the influence that these peptide sequences can have on Drp1 function given their proximity to functional domains.
