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

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a multifunctional polypeptide that acts as a subunit in the animal prolyl 4-hydroxylases and the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, and as a chaperone that binds various peptides and assists their folding. We report here that deletion of PDI sequences corresponding to the entire C-terminal domain c, previously thought to be critical for chaperone activity, had no inhibitory effect on the assembly of recombinant prolyl 4-hydroxylase in insect cells or on the in vitro chaperone activity or disulfide isomerase activity of purified PDI. However, partially overlapping critical regions for all these functions were identified at the C-terminal end of the preceding thioredoxin-like domain a'. Point mutations introduced into this region identified several residues as critical for prolyl 4-hydroxylase assembly. Circular dichroism spectra of three mutants suggested that two of these mutations may have caused only local alterations, whereas one of them may have led to more extensive structural changes. The critical region identified here corresponds to the C-terminal alpha helix of domain a', but this is not the only critical region for any of these functions.
