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

S100B is a Ca(2+)-binding protein known to be a non-covalently associated dimer, S100B(beta beta), at high concentrations (0.2-3.0 mM) under reducing conditions. The solution structure of apo-S100B (beta beta) shows that the subunits associate in an antiparallel manner to form a tightly packed hydrophobic core at the dimer interface involving six of eight helices and the C-terminal loop (Drohat AC, Amburgey JC, Abildgaard F, Starich MR, Baldisseri D, Weber DJ. 1996. Solution structure of rat apo-S100B (beta beta) as determined by NMR spectroscopy. Biochemistry 35:11577-11588). The C-terminal loop, however, is also known to participate in the binding of S100B to target proteins, so its participation in the dimer interface raises questions as to the physiological relevance of dimeric S100B (beta beta). Therefore, we investigated the oligomerization state of S100B at low concentrations (1-10,000 nM) using large-zone analytical gel filtration chromatography with 35S-labeled S100B. We found that S100B exists (> 99%) as a non-covalently associated dimer, S100B (beta beta), at 1 nM subunit concentration (500 pM dimer) in the presence or absence of saturating levels of Ca2+, which implies a dissociation constant in the picomolar range or lower. These results demonstrate for the first time that in reducing environments and at physiological concentrations, S100B exists as dimeric S100B (beta beta) in the presence or absence of Ca2+, and that the non-covalent dimer is most likely the form of S100B presented to target proteins.
