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

Microtubules (MTs) and their associated proteins play essential roles in maintaining cell structure, organelle transport, cell motility, and cell division. Two motors, kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein link the MT network to transported cargos using ATP for force generation. Here, we report an all-atom NMR structure of nucleotide-free kinesin-1 motor domain (apo-KIF5B) in complex with paclitaxel-stabilized microtubules using magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The structure reveals the position and orientation of the functionally important neck linker and how ADP induces structural and dynamic changes that ensue in the neck linker. These results demonstrate that the neck linker is in the undocked conformation and oriented in the direction opposite to the KIF5B movement. Chemical shift perturbations and intensity changes indicate that a significant portion of ADP-KIF5B is in the neck linker docked state. This study also highlights the unique capability of MAS NMR to provide atomic-level information on dynamic regions of biological assemblies.
