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

Enzyme activity varies with temperature. Unlike small-molecule catalysts, the structural ensembles of enzymes can change substantially with temperature, but it is unclear how this modulates temperature dependent activity. Here, multi-temperature X-ray crystallography was used to record structural changes from -20°C to 40°C for a mesophilic enzyme in complex with inhibitors mimicking substrate-, intermediate-, and product-bound states, representative of major complexes on the reaction coordinate. Inhibitors, substrates and active site loops increasingly populated catalytically competent conformations as temperature increased. These changes occurred even in temperature ranges where kinetic measurements showed roughly linear Arrhenius/Eyring behavior, where parameters characterizing the system are assumed to be temperature independent. Simple analysis shows that linear Arrhenius/Eyring behavior can still be observed when the underlying activation energy/enthalpy values vary with temperature. Our results indicate a critical role for temperature dependent atomic-resolution structural data in interpreting temperature dependent kinetic data from enzymatic systems.
