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

EmrE is a small multidrug transporter from Escherichia coli that provides a unique model for the study of polytopic membrane proteins. Here, we show its synthesis in a cell-free system in a fully functional form. The detergent-solubilized protein binds substrates with high affinity and, when reconstituted into proteoliposomes, transports substrate in a Deltamicro(H)(+)-dependent fashion. Here, we used the cell-free system to study the oligomeric properties of EmrE. EmrE functions as an oligomer, but the size of the functional oligomer has not been established unequivocally. Coexpression of two plasmids in the cell-free system allowed demonstration of functional complementation and pull-down experiments confirmed that the basic functional unit is the dimer. An additional interaction between dimers has been detected by using crosslinking between unique Cys residues. This finding implies the existence of a dimer of dimers.
