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

The mammalian high mobility group protein AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) houses three motifs that preferentially bind short stretches of AT-rich DNA regions. These DNA binding motifs, known as 'AT-hooks', are traditionally characterized as being unstructured. Upon binding to AT-rich DNA, they form ordered assemblies. It is this disordered-to-ordered transition that has implicated HMGA2 as a protein actively involved in many biological processes, with abnormal HMGA expression linked to a variety of health problems including diabetes, obesity, and oncogenesis. In the current work, the solution binding dynamics of the three 'AT-hook' peptides (ATHPs) with AT-rich DNA hairpin substrates were studied using DNA UV melting studies, fluorescence spectroscopy, native ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS), solution isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and molecular modeling. Results showed that the ATHPs bind to the DNA to form a single, 1:1 and 2:1, 'key-locked' conformational ensemble. The molecular models showed that 1:1 and 2:1 complex formation is driven by the capacity of the ATHPs to bind to the minor and major grooves of the AT-rich DNA oligomers. Complementary solution ITC results confirmed that the 2:1 stoichiometry of ATHP: DNA is originated under native conditions in solution.
