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

Some protein positions play special roles in determining the magnitude of protein function: at such "rheostat" positions, varied amino acid substitutions give rise to a continuum of functional outcomes, from wild type (or enhanced), to intermediate, to loss of function. This observed range raises interesting questions about the biophysical bases by which changes at single positions have such varied outcomes. Here, we assessed variants at position 98 in human aldolase A ("I98X"). Despite being ~17 Å from the active site and far from subunit interfaces, substitutions at position 98 have rheostatic contributions to the apparent cooperativity (n
