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

Highly conserved glycine residues within span I and span II of the phenylalanine and tyrosine transporter PheP were shown to be important for the function of the wild-type protein. Replacement by amino acids with increasing side chain volume led to progressive loss of transport activity. Second-site suppression studies performed with a number of the primary mutants revealed a tight packing arrangement between spans I and II that is important for function and an additional interaction between spans I and III. We also postulate that a third motif, GXXIG, present in span I and highly conserved within different members of the amino acid-polyamine-organocation family, may function as a dimerization motif. Surprisingly, other highly conserved residues, such as Y60 and L41, could be replaced by various residues with no apparent loss of activity.
