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

Actin, a key component of the cytoskeleton, undergoes significant structural and thermal changes in response to various regulatory factors, including the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP). In this study, we applied deconvolution analysis to previously obtained differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data to resolve overlapping thermal transitions in G- and F-actin unfolding. Our findings reveal that PACAP38 and PACAP6-38 significantly alter actin stability, increasing structural cooperativity in G-actin while reducing monomer-monomer interactions in F-actin. These thermodynamic changes suggest a potential role for PACAP in modulating actin polymerization and depolymerization dynamics, contributing to cytoskeletal remodeling.
