The Spatial Distribution of Local Mobility in Folded Proteins.

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
A quantitative approach is developed to the study of the spatial distribution of amino acid mobility in protein structures. This method, which is based on bioinformatic and signal processing tools, makes it possible to study very large databases of structures simultaneously, and to search for the existence of domains within proteins which are defined by mobility effects, rather than by static structural considerations. It is shown that mobility is distributed nonuniformly in a substantial subset of structures in a large database; that nonuniform mobility distribution does not select for fold class; and that differences in local mobility distribution are correlated with differences in total mobility. Analyzed in light of previous results, these findings suggest that the dynamics of proteins with nonuniform distributions of mobility may exhibit dynamics dominated by local modes, rather than large-scale motions. We suggest that spatial mobility distribution may be a significant driver of protein evolution. It is also speculated that mobility distribution may act as a control on the hydrodynamic environment of proteins in solution.
