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

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) belong to a family of 12- to 43-kDa proteins that are ubiquitous and are conserved in amino acid sequence among all organisms. A sHSP homologue of Methanococcus jannaschii, a hyperthermophilic Archaeon, forms a homogeneous multimer comprised of 24 monomers with a molecular mass of 400 kDa in contrast to other sHSPs that show heterogeneous oligomeric complexes. Electron microscopy analysis revealed a spherically shaped oligomeric structure approximately 15-20 nm in diameter. The protein confers thermal protection of other proteins in vitro as found in other sHSPs. Escherichia coli cell extracts containing the protein were protected from heat-denatured precipitation when heated up to 100 degreesC, whereas extracts from cells not expressing the protein were heat-sensitive at 60 degreesC. Similar results were obtained when purified sHSP protein was added to an E. coli cell lysate. The protein also prevented the aggregation of two purified proteins: single-chain monellin (SCM) at 80 degreesC and citrate synthase at 40 degreesC.
