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

Dynamin belongs to the large GTPase superfamily, and mediates the fission of vesicles during endocytosis. Dynamin molecules are recruited to the neck of budding vesicles to assemble into a helical collar and to constrict the underlying membrane. Two helical forms were observed: the one-start helix in the constricted state and the two-start helix in the super-constricted state. Here we report the cryoEM structure of a super-constricted two-start dynamin 1 filament at 3.74 Å resolution. The two strands are joined by the conserved GTPase dimeric interface. In comparison with the one-start structure, a rotation around Hinge 1 is observed, essential for communicating the chemical power of the GTPase domain and the mechanical force of the Stalk and PH domain onto the underlying membrane. The Stalk interfaces are well conserved and serve as fulcrums for adapting to changing curvatures. Relative to one-start, small rotations per interface accumulate to bring a drastic change in the helical pitch. Elasticity theory rationalizes the diversity of dynamin helical symmetries and suggests corresponding functional significance.
