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 time-resolved thermodynamics of the flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-binding LOV1 domain of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii phot (phototropin homolog) was studied by means of laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopy. In the wild-type protein the early red-shifted intermediate LOV(715) exhibits a small volume contraction, DeltaV(715) = -1.50 ml/mol, with respect to the parent state. LOV(715) decays within few micro s into the covalent FMN-Cys-57 adduct LOV(390), that shows a larger contraction, DeltaV(390) = -8.8 ml/mol, suggesting a loss of entropy and conformational flexibility. The high energy content of LOV(390), E(390) = 180 kJ/mol, ensures the driving force for the completion of the photocycle and points to a strained photoreceptor conformation. In the LOV-C57S mutated protein the photoadduct is not formed and DeltaV(390) is undetected. Large effects on the measured DeltaVs are observed in the photochemically competent R58K and R58K/D31Q mutated proteins, with DeltaV(390) = -2.0 and -1.9 ml/mol, respectively, and DeltaV(715) approximately 0. The D31Q and D31N substitutions exhibit smaller but well-detectable effects. These results show that the photo-induced volume changes involve the protein region comprising Arg-58, which tightly interacts with the FMN phosphate group.
