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

Proton translocation experiments with intact cells of Halobacterium salinarium overproducing sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) revealed transport activity of SRI in a two-photon process. The vectoriality of proton translocation depends on pH, being outwardly directed above, and inwardly directed below, pH 5.7. Activation of the transport cycle requires excitation of the initial dark state of SRI, SRI590, to form the intermediate SRI380. Action spectra identify the photocycle intermediates SRI380 and SRI520 as the two photochemically reactive species in the outwardly directed transport process. As shown by flash photolysis experiments, SRI520 undergoes a so-far unknown photochemical reaction to SRI380 with a half-time of <200 micros. Mutation of SRI residue Asp-76, the residue which is equivalent to the proton acceptor Asp-85 in bacteriorhodopsin, to asparagine leads to inactivation of proton translocation. This demonstrates that the underlying mechanisms of proton transport in both retinal proteins share similar features. However, SRI is to our knowledge the first case where photochemical reactions between two thermally unstable photoproducts of a retinal protein constitute a catalytic ion transport cycle.
