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 activity of allosterically regulated enzyme is modulated through structural changes induced by effectors. L-lactate dehydrogenase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GsLDH) catalyzes the reversible conversion between pyruvate and lactate using NAD(H), and its activity is known to be activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP). However, the molecular basis of this regulation has not been explored using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In this study, we integrated MD simulations with biochemical assays to investigate the impact of FBP on GsLDH structure and function. MD revealed that FBP stabilizes the tetrameric form, reduces residue flexibility, and enhances pyruvate interactions with active site residues, despite a 23 Å distance between binding sites. Using MDavocado, we identified three P-axis-related dimer interface regions critical for stability and structural integrity. Microcalorimetry titration revealed that NADH binding (K
