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

Next-generation sequencing resulted in the identification of a huge number of naturally occurring variations in human proteins. The correct interpretation of the functional effects of these variations necessitates the understanding of how they modulate protein structure. Coiled-coils are α-helical structures responsible for a diverse range of functions, but most importantly, they facilitate the structural organization of macromolecular scaffolds via oligomerization. In this study, we analyzed a comprehensive set of disease-associated germline mutations in coiled-coil structures. Our results suggest an important role of residues near the N-terminal part of coiled-coil regions, possibly critical for superhelix assembly and folding in some cases. We also show that coiled-coils of different oligomerization states exhibit characteristically distinct patterns of disease-causing mutations. Our study provides structural and functional explanations on how disease emerges through the mutation of these structural motifs.
