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

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is widely used in protein research. Micellar binding of SDS is accepted as a major mechanism of SDS binding to proteins. Here, we investigated SDS-protein interactions using near-UV circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy, and SDS-gel electrophoresis. Bovine serum albumin (BSA), IgG, and lysozyme showed unfolding by SDS without heating or disulfide reduction as determined by SDS-gel electrophoresis. Near-UV CD and fluorescence spectroscopy showed changes in local structures surrounding tryptophan residues upon addition of 0.05-1% SDS. The fluorescence emission was blue-shifted by SDS, indicating that SDS creates more hydrophobic environments for the fluorescent tryptophan residues. We propose that, as one of the modes of SDS binding, both stoichiometric and cluster-like SDS binding occur around the fluorescent tryptophan residues, leading to changes in aromatic CD and fluorescence spectra.
