Prime region subsite specificity characterization of human cathepsin D: the dominant role of position 128.
Article in Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
In order to contribute to our understanding of cathepsin D (CatD) active site specificity, two series of chromogenic octapeptides with systematic substitutions in positions P2' and P3' were synthesized. This panel was characterized with native human liver cathepsin D (nHuCatD) and yielded information concerning specificity trends within the S2' and S3' subsites. The pepstatin inhibited crystal structure of nHuCatD (Baldwin et al., 1993) was then utilized in conjunction with these subsite preference data to identify residues suspected of contributing to "prime" side subsite specificity. These residues were targeted for site-directed mutagenesis using the re-engineered recombinant model, "short" pseudocathepsin D (Beyer & Dunn, 1996). As a result of these analyses it was determined that prime region subsites do contribute to the unique specificity of human CatD. Furthermore, it was ascertained that the poly-proline loop does not have an active role in S3' subsite specificity. Lastly, it appears that Ile128 has a dominant role on S2' subsite specificity whereas Val130 does not.
