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

De novo protein design often produces thermostable proteins that denature above 100°C, which complicates the analysis of their stability. Thermostable proteins can be unfolded by combined chemical and thermal denaturation followed by global analysis of multiple melting curves. Here, we have developed CheMelt, a new online tool for global analysis of unfolding data via an intuitive graphical user interface. We use nanoscale differential scanning fluorimetry followed by CheMelt data analysis to dissect the combined thermal and chemical denaturation of 35 de novo designed protein binders. Thirteen present sufficient fluorescence changes to extract thermodynamic parameters of unfolding. These de novo designed proteins have systematically lower ΔC
