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

We are using intragenic suppression to generate inferences about currently inaccessible conformations of the molecular motor myosin. We identified 19 unique suppressors of Dictyostelium G680A and G680V mutants and find that they are structurally and chemically restricted, suggestive of specific, compensatory mechanisms of action. Suppressors cluster in two adjacent elements of the myosin structure, one of which is dominated by substitutions that increase the volume of hydrophobic residues. The suppressors outline a general model for the mechanism of suppression of the G680A and G680V alterations. Secondary phenotypes conferred by suppressors independent of the G680 changes demonstrate that they will be useful substrates for biochemical and genetic characterization.
