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

Assembly of the proteasome's core particle (CP), a barrel-shaped chamber of four stacked rings, requires five chaperones and five subunit propeptides. Fusion of two half-CP precursors yields a complete structure but remains immature until active site maturation. Here, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we report a high-resolution cryogenic electron microscopy structure of preholoproteasome, a post-fusion assembly intermediate. Our data reveal how CP midline-spanning interactions induce local changes in structure, facilitating maturation. Unexpectedly, we find that cleavage may not be sufficient for propeptide release, as residual interactions with chaperones such as Ump1 hold them in place. We evaluated previous models proposing that dynamic conformational changes in chaperones drive CP fusion and autocatalytic activation by comparing preholoproteasome to pre-fusion intermediates. Instead, the data suggest a scaffolding role for the chaperones Ump1 and Pba1/Pba2. Our data clarify key aspects of CP assembly, suggest that undiscovered mechanisms exist to explain CP fusion/activation, and have relevance for diseases of defective CP biogenesis.
