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

ClpAP, a two-ring AAA+ protease, degrades N-end-rule proteins bound by the ClpS adaptor. Here we present high-resolution cryo-EM structures of Escherichia coli ClpAPS complexes, showing how ClpA pore loops interact with the ClpS N-terminal extension (NTE), which is normally intrinsically disordered. In two classes, the NTE is bound by a spiral of pore-1 and pore-2 loops in a manner similar to substrate-polypeptide binding by many AAA+ unfoldases. Kinetic studies reveal that pore-2 loops of the ClpA D1 ring catalyze the protein remodeling required for substrate delivery by ClpS. In a third class, D2 pore-1 loops are rotated, tucked away from the channel and do not bind the NTE, demonstrating asymmetry in engagement by the D1 and D2 rings. These studies show additional structures and functions for key AAA+ elements. Pore-loop tucking may be used broadly by AAA+ unfoldases, for example, during enzyme pausing/unloading.
