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

We use a bioinformatic description of amino acid dynamic properties, based on residue-specific average B factors, to construct a dynamics-based, large-scale description of a space of protein sequences. We examine the relationship between that space and an independently constructed, structure-based space comprising the same sequences. It is demonstrated that structure and dynamics are only moderately correlated. It is further shown that helical proteins fall into two classes with very different structure-dynamics relationships. We suggest that dynamics in the two helical classes are dominated by distinctly different modes--pseudo-one-dimensional, localized helical modes in one case, and pseudo-three-dimensional (3D) global modes in the other. Sheet/barrel and mixed-α/β proteins exhibit more conventional structure-dynamics relationships. It is found that the strongest correlation between structure and dynamic properties arises when the latter are represented by the sequence average of the dynamic index, which corresponds physically to the overall mobility of the protein. None of these results are accessible to bioinformatic methods hitherto available.
