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

The Rossmann-like fold is the most prevalent and diversified doubly-wound superfold of ancient evolutionary origin. Rossmann-like domains are present in a variety of metabolic enzymes and are capable of binding diverse ligands. Discerning evolutionary relationships among these domains is challenging because of their diverse functions and ancient origin. We defined a minimal Rossmann-like structural motif (RLM), identified RLM-containing domains among known 3D structures (20%) and classified them according to their homologous relationships. New classifications were incorporated into our Evolutionary Classification of protein Domains (ECOD) database. We defined 156 homology groups (H-groups), which were further clustered into 123 possible homology groups (X-groups). Our analysis revealed that RLM-containing proteins constitute approximately 15% of the human proteome. We found that disease-causing mutations are more frequent within RLM domains than within non-RLM domains of these proteins, highlighting the importance of RLM-containing proteins for human health.
