Deceptive beauty of non-natural structures.
Review in Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Structures of proteins and multiprotein complexes are considered landmark achievements. However, in many cases, mutant proteins are used for structural work. Even when wild type proteins are used, crystallization or complex formation for cryoEM is performed in highly nonphysiological conditions. This explains why the structures can be inconsistent with the functional data. The structures are always true, but solved structures faithfully reveal the mode of interactions of the proteins used in the conditions employed. The structures are static, whereas proteins are dynamic. Even when a series of structures are solved, the dynamics are only implied or deduced via molecular dynamics simulations. The mechanisms of protein function in the natural environment can be revealed by the combination of structural, biochemical, biophysical, and in vivo studies, supplemented by molecular modeling.
