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

F-actin dynamics (polymerization and depolymerization) are associated with nucleotide exchange, providing the driving forces for dynamic cellular activities. As an important residue in the nucleotide state-sensing region in actin, His73 is often found to be methylated in natural actin and directly participates in F-actin dynamics by regulating nucleotide exchange. The interaction between His73 and its neighboring residue, Gly158, has significance for F-actin dynamics. However, this weak chemical interaction is difficult to characterize using classic molecular modeling methods. In this study, ab initio modeling was employed to explore the binding energy between His73 and Gly158. The results confirm that the methyl group on the His73 side chain contributes to the structural stability of atomistic networks in the nucleotide state-sensing region of actin monomers and confines the material exchange (Pi release) pathway within F-actin dynamics. Further binding energy analyses of actin structures under different nucleotide states showed that the potential model of His73/Gly158 hydrogen bond breaking in the material exchange mechanism is not obligatory within F-actin dynamics.
