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

Myristoyl CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase catalyzes the addition of myristate to the amino-terminal glycine residue of a number of eukaryotic proteins. Escherichia coli transformed with human NMT expression construct produced high levels of N-myristoyltransferase. Using the combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on SP-Sepharose fast flow and fast protein liquid chromatography on Mono-S, the enzyme was purified more than 100 fold with 40% yield. The hNMT fusion protein exhibited an apparent molecular weight of 53 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon cleavage by the Enterokinase [(Asp)4-Lys], the hNMT exhibited an apparent molecular mass of 49 kDa without loss of catalytic activity. The hNMT activity could be greatly activated severalfold with the use of Tris, SDS, ethanol and acetonitrile. The catalytic activity of hNMT was potently inhibited in a concentration dependent manner by NIP71, a bovine brain NMT inhibitory protein with a half maximal inhibition of 31.0 nM. The E. coli expressed hNMT was homogeneous and showed enzyme activity.
