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

Most of our knowledge of protein structure and function originates from experiments performed with purified proteins resuspended in dilute, buffered solutions. However, most proteins function in crowded intracellular environments with complex compositions. Significant efforts have been made to develop tools to study proteins in their native cellular settings. Among these tools, in-cell NMR spectroscopy has been the sole technique for characterizing proteins in the intracellular space of living cells at atomic resolution and physiological temperature. Nevertheless, due to technological constraints, in-cell NMR studies have been limited to asynchronous single-cell suspensions, precluding obtaining information on protein behavior in different cellular states. In this study, we present a methodology that allows for obtaining an atomically resolved NMR readout of protein structure and interactions in living human cells synchronized in specific cell cycle phases and within 3D models of human tissue. The described approach opens avenues for investigating how protein structure or drug recognition responds to cell-cell communication or changes in intracellular space composition during transitions among cell cycle phases.
