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

Split intein-mediated protein trans-splicing (PTS) is widely applied in chemical biology and biotechnology to carry out traceless and specific protein ligation. However, the external residues immediately flanking the intein (exteins) can reduce the splicing rate, thereby limiting certain applications of PTS. Splicing by a recently developed intein with atypical split architecture ("Cat") exhibits a stark dependence on the sequence of its N-terminal extein residues. Here, we further developed Cat using error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a cell-based selection assay to produce Cat*, which exhibits greatly enhanced PTS activity in the presence of unfavorable N-extein residues. We then applied solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations to explore how the dynamics of a conserved B-block histidine residue (His
