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

We used site-directed spin labeling and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to investigate dynamics and helical packing in the four-helix transmembrane domain of the homodimeric bacterial chemoreceptor Trg. We focused on the first transmembrane helix, TM1, particularly on the nine-residue sequence nearest the periplasm, because patterns of disulfide formation between introduced cysteines had identified that segment as the region of closest approach among neighboring transmembrane helices. Along this sequence, mobility and accessibility of the introduced spin label were characteristic of loosely packed or solvent-exposed side chains. This was also the case for eight additional positions around the circumference and along the length of TM1. For the continuous nine-residue sequence near the periplasm, mobility and accessibility varied only modestly as a function of position. We conclude that side chains of TM1 that face the interior of the four-helix domain interact with neighboring helices but dynamic movement results in loose packing. Compared to transmembrane segments of other membrane proteins reconstituted into lipid bilayers and characterized by site-directed spin labeling, TM1 of chemoreceptor Trg is the most dynamic and loosely packed. A dynamic, loosely packed chemoreceptor domain can account for many experimental observations about the transmembrane domains of chemoreceptors.
