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

Sensory rhodopsin II (SRII) in Halobacterium salinarum membranes is a phototaxis receptor that signals through its bound transducer HtrII for avoidance of blue-green light. In the present study we investigated the proton movements during the photocycle of SRII in the HtrII-free and HtrII-complexed form. We monitored sustained light-induced pH changes with a pH electrode, and laser flash-induced pH changes with the pH indicator pyranine using sealed membrane vesicles and open sheets containing the free or the complexed receptor. The results demonstrated that SRII takes up a proton in M-to-O conversion and releases it during O-decay. The uptake and release are from and to the extracellular side, and therefore SRII does not transport the proton across the membrane. The pH dependence of the SRII photocycle indicated the presence of a protonatable group (pK(a) approximately 7.5) in the extracellular proton-conducting path, which plays a role in proton uptake by the Schiff base in the M-to-O conversion. The extracellular proton circulation produced by SRII was not blocked by HtrII complexation, unlike the cytoplasmic proton conduction in SRI that was found in the same series of measurements to be blocked by its transducer, HtrI. The implications of this finding for current models of SRI and SRII signaling are discussed.
