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

The stability and physiological function of many biomolecular coacervates depend on the structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that typically contain a significant fraction of charged residues. Although the effect of relative arrangement of charged residues on IDP conformation is a well-studied problem, the associated changes in dynamics are far less understood. In this work, we systematically interrogate the effects of charge distribution on the chain-level and segmental dynamics of polyampholytic IDPs in dilute solutions. We study a coarse-grained model polyampholyte consisting of an equal fraction of two oppositely charged residues (glutamic acid and lysine) that undergoes a transition from an ideal chain-like conformation for uniformly charge-patterned sequences to a semi-compact conformation for highly charge-segregated sequences. Changes in the chain-level dynamics with increasing charge segregation correlate with changes in conformation. The chain-level and segmental dynamics conform to simple homopolymer models for uniformly charge-patterned sequences but deviate with increasing charge segregation, both in the presence and absence of hydrodynamic interactions. We discuss the significance of these findings, obtained for a model polyampholyte, in the context of a charge-rich intrinsically disordered region of the naturally occurring protein LAF-1. Our findings have important implications for understanding the effects of charge patterning on the dynamics of polyampholytic IDPs in dilute conditions using polymer scaling theories.
