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 ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain is an important motif in the modulation of many molecular functionalities. It has been mainly associated with ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, a multistep mechanism in which undesirable proteins are tagged with polyubiquitin chains for degradation in the proteasome complex. Comparison among UBA domains reveals a quite small structural variability, displaying an overall fold with a tightly packed three-helix bundle, and a common conserved hydrophobic patch on their surface that is important for ubiquitin binding. Mutations in the UBA domain, mainly in the highly conserved hydrophobic patch, induce conformational instabilities, which can be related to weak affinity for ubiquitin. This raises the question whether such hydrophobic patch presents conserved structural arrangement for selective recognition and protein binding. A concern that led us to investigate the stability of the p62-UBA domain as a case study regarding its structural arrangement as a function of temperature and two NaCl concentrations. Our results reveal that the temperature range and ionic strengths considered in this work produced a negligible effect on the three-helix bundle fold of p62-UBA domain.
