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

Paramagnetic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods have emerged as powerful tools for structure determination of large, sparsely protonated proteins. However traditional applications face several challenges, including a need for large datasets to offset the sparsity of restraints, the difficulty in accounting for the conformational heterogeneity of the spin-label, and noisy experimental data. Here we propose an integrative approach to structure determination combining sparse paramagnetic NMR with physical modelling to infer approximate protein structural ensembles. We use calmodulin in complex with the smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase peptide as a model system. Despite acquiring data from samples labeled only at the backbone amide positions, we are able to produce an ensemble with an average RMSD of ∼2.8 Å from a reference X-ray crystal structure. Our approach requires only backbone chemical shifts and measurements of the paramagnetic relaxation enhancement and residual dipolar couplings that can be obtained from sparsely labeled samples.
