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

Proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) migrate at a higher apparent molecular weight in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, complicating their analysis and identification. Here, we investigate the sequence determinants of the hypomobility of IDRs using a series of synthetic low-complexity domains. We find that negative charge increases the apparent molecular weight, but neutral polar tracts also have abnormally slow migration. Positive charge and hydrophobic residues decrease the apparent molecular weight, although lysine residues show a biphasic effect with decreased migration at high fractional contents. Combinations of residues show that different sequence contributions to the apparent molecular weight are not additive. The results can be rationalized by the protein-decorated micelle model by considering both SDS binding and the compaction of protein SDS-complexes.
