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

The functional properties of the anion-selective porin Omp32 from the bacterium Delftia acidovorans, formerly Comamonas acidovorans, are determined by the particularly narrow channel constriction and the electrostatic field inside and outside the pore. A cluster of arginines (Arg 38, Arg 75, and Arg 133) determines the electrostatic field close to the constriction zone. Stacked amino acids carrying charges are prone to drastic pK(a) shifts. However, optimized calculations of the titration behavior of charged groups, based on the finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann technique, suggest that all the arginines are charged at physiological pH. Protonation of the clustered arginines is stabilized by one buried glutamate residue (Glu 58), which is strongly interacting with Arg 75 and Arg 38. This functional arrangement of three charged amino acid residues is of general significance because it is found in the constriction zones of all known 16-stranded porins from the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-proteobacteria.
