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

Fusing a variant of the sterile alpha motif domain of the human translocation ETS leukaemia protein (TELSAM) to a protein of interest has been shown to significantly enhance crystallization propensity. TELSAM is a pH-dependent, polymer-forming protein crystallization chaperone which, when covalently fused to a protein of interest, forms a stable, well-ordered crystal lattice. However, despite its success, a challenge persists in that crystal quality and diffraction limits appear to be heavily dependent on the choice of linker between TELSAM and the protein of interest, with identification of a functional linker relying on trial-and-error methods. Likewise, previous studies revealed that the 10xHis tag at the TELSAM N-terminus can either facilitate or hinder the ordered crystallization of target proteins attached via flexible or semi-flexible linkers. To address these challenges, we designed multiple constructs with several types of linkers-rigid (helical fusion), semi-flexible (Pro-Ala
