Histidine 73 methylation coordinates β-actin plasticity in response to key environmental factors.

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.
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 functional importance of the methylation of histidine 73 (H73) in actin remains unclear. Focusing on cytoplasmic β-actin, present in all mammalian cells, we use molecular dynamics simulations with a polarizable force field and adaptive sampling to examine the effects of H73 methylation. Our results show that methylation enhances nucleotide binding cleft opening, alters allosteric pathways connecting subdomains 2 and 4 (SD2 and SD4) in G-actin, and affects backdoor openings and inorganic phosphate release in F-actin, as validated by biochemical assays. These effects depend on the nucleotide and ions interacting with the actin. Together, our findings reveal how H73 methylation regulates β-actin plasticity and integrates environmental cues.
