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

Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) must exist as an unfolded ensemble while interacting with a chaperone network in the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we developed a method to model unfolded OMP (uOMP) conformational ensembles using the experimental properties of two well-studied OMPs. The overall sizes and shapes of the unfolded ensembles in the absence of a denaturant were experimentally defined by measuring the sedimentation coefficient as a function of urea concentration. We used these data to model a full range of unfolded conformations by parameterizing a targeted coarse-grained simulation protocol. The ensemble members were further refined by short molecular dynamics simulations to reflect proper torsion angles. The final conformational ensembles have polymer properties different from unfolded soluble and intrinsically disordered proteins and reveal inherent differences in the unfolded states that necessitate further investigation. Building these uOMP ensembles advances the understanding of OMP biogenesis and provides essential information for interpreting structures of uOMP-chaperone complexes.
