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

The equilibrium unfolding reaction of the C-terminal 80-amino-acid dimeric DNA-binding domain of human papillomavirus (HPV) strain 16 E2 protein has been investigated using fluorescence, far-UV CD, and equilibrium sedimentation. The stability of the HPV-16 E2 DNA-binding domain is concentration-dependent, and the unfolding reaction is well described as a two-state transition from folded dimer to unfolded monomer. The conformational stability of the protein, delta GH2O, was found to be 9.8 kcal/mol at pH 5.6, with the corresponding equilibrium unfolding/dissociation constant, Ku, being 6.5 x 10(-8) M. Equilibrium sedimentation experiments give a Kd of 3.0 x 10(-8) M, showing an excellent agreement between the two different techniques. Denaturation by temperature followed by the change in ellipticity also shows a concomitant disappearance of secondary and tertiary structures. The Ku changes dramatically at physiologically relevant pH's: with a change in pH from 6.1 to 7.0, it goes from 5.5 x 10(-8) M to 4.4 x 10(10) M. Our results suggest that, at the very low concentration of protein where DNA binding is normally measured (e.g., 10(-11) M), the protein is predominantly monomeric and unfolded. They also stress the importance of the coupling between folding and DNA binding.
