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

A bottleneck for structure-function studies of closely related proteins is purification. Here, we built upon new affinity protein purification technology to develop a uniform and rapid tandem-affinity purification protocol to generate significant quantities of pure GTPase proteins for use in structure-function studies. Our method relies on new and commercially available split-intein based technology. We show that this technology can be used to speed up purification of small GTPases and at the same time facilitate nucleotide loading. Using K-Ras4B and H-Ras as case studies, we demonstrate that we can generate crystallizable grade protein, homogenously loaded with either GDP or the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue GppNHp, in less than 36 h.
