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

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) not only play important roles in biological processes but are also linked with the pathogenesis of various human diseases. Specific and reliable sensing of IDPs is crucial for exploring their roles but remains elusive due to structural plasticity. Here, we present the development of a new type of fluorescent protein for the ratiometric sensing and tracking of an IDP. A β-strand of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was truncated, and the resulting GFP was further engineered to undergo the transition in the absorption maximum upon binding of a target motif within amyloid-β (Aβ) as a model IDP through rational design and directed evolution. Spectroscopic and structural analyses of the engineered truncated GFP demonstrated that a shift in the absorption maximum is driven by the change in the chromophore state from an anionic (460 nm) state into a neutral (390 nm) state as the Aβ binds, allowing a ratiometric detection of Aβ. The utility of the developed GFP was shown by the efficient and specific detection of an Aβ and the tracking of its conformational change and localization in astrocytes.
