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

Proper interpretation of analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) data for purified proteins requires ancillary information and calculations to account for factors such as buoyancy, buffer viscosity, hydration, and temperature. The utility program SEDNTERP has been widely used by the AUC community for this purpose since its introduction in the mid-1990s. Recent extensions to this program (1) allow it to incorporate data from diffusion as well as AUC experiments; and (2) allow it to calculate the refractive index of buffer solutions (based on the solute composition of the buffer), as well as the specific refractive increment (dn/dc) of proteins based on their composition. These two extensions should be quite useful to the light scattering community as well as helpful for AUC users. The latest version also adds new terms to the partial specific volume calculations which should improve the accuracy, particularly for smaller proteins and peptides, and can calculate the viscosity of buffers containing heavy isotopes of water. It also uses newer, more accurate equations for the density of water and for the hydrodynamic properties of rods and disks. This article will summarize and review all the equations used in the current program version and the scientific background behind them. It will tabulate the values used to calculate the partial specific volume and dn/dc, as well as the polynomial coefficients used in calculating the buffer density and viscosity (most of which have not been previously published), as well as the new ones used in calculating the buffer refractive index.
