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

A standard operating procedure for a fluorescence-based thermal shift assay (FTSA) is provided describing its typical applications, advantages and limitations. FTSA is a simple, robust, universal and quick assay to determine protein-ligand binding affinities and protein stabilities in the presence of various excipients and solution conditions. Therefore, the assay is very useful for the straightforward characterization of new recombinantly produced proteins. The assay has a wide dynamic range enabling simultaneous determination of affinities in the milimolar to picomolar range. The assay could be used for essentially any protein that is sufficiently soluble and stable in the studied aqueous solution. Here we provide examples and typical experimental protocols for both affinity and stability determinations.
