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

Deamidation of asparagine (Asn) residues is a nonenzymatic post-translational modification of proteins. Asn deamidation is associated with pathogenesis of age-related diseases and hypofunction of monoclonal antibodies. Deamidation rate is known to be affected by the residue following Asn on the carboxyl side and by secondary structure. Information about main-chain conformation of Asn residues is necessary to accurately predict deamidation rate. In this study, the effect of main-chain conformation of Asn residues on deamidation rate was computationally investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum chemical calculations. The results of MD simulations for γS-crystallin suggested that frequently deamidated Asn residues have common main-chain conformations on the N-terminal side. Based on the simulated structure, initial structures for the quantum chemical calculations were constructed and optimized geometries were obtained using the B3LYP density functional method. Structures that were frequently deamidated had a lower activation energy barrier than that of the little deamidated structure. We also showed that dihydrogen phosphate and bicarbonate ions are important catalysts for deamidation of Asn residues.
