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

Inteins (intervening proteins) interrupt host proteins and are removed through a protein splicing reaction that ligates adjacent N- and C-exteins. The ability of inteins to specifically rearrange peptide bonds has proven exceptionally useful in protein engineering, thus, methods to control intein activity are of considerable interest. One particularly useful application of inteins is for the removal of an affinity tag following purification of a target protein through N-terminal cleavage (NTC). Typically, extended incubation at high temperature (greater than 50°C) or with an external nucleophile (e.g., dithiothreitol) is required to drive NTC, conditions that compromise the folding of many target proteins. Here, we characterize a variant of the
