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

Rhomboid proteases are a ubiquitous superfamily of serine intramembrane peptidases that play a role in a wide variety of cellular processes. The mammalian mitochondrial rhomboid protease, Presenilin-Associated Rhomboid Like (PARL), is a critical regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis through the cleavage of its substrates, which have roles in mitochondrial quality control and apoptosis. However, neither structural nor functional information for this important protease is available, because the expression of eukaryotic membrane proteins to sufficient levels in an active form often represents a major bottleneck for in vitro studies. Here we present an optimized protocol for expression and purification of the human PARL protease using the eukaryotic expression host Pichia pastoris. The PARL gene construct was generated in tandem with green fluorescent protein (GFP), which allowed for the selection of high expressing clones and monitoring during the large-scale expression and purification steps. We discuss the production protocol with precise details for each step. The protocol yields 1 mg of pure PARL per liter of yeast culture.
