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

Structural rearrangements of the myosin upper-50 kD subdomain are thought to play a key role in coordinating actin binding with nucleotide hydrolysis during the myosin ATPase cycle. Such rearrangements could open and close the active site in opposition to the actin-binding cleft, helping explain the opposing affinities of myosin for actin and nucleotide. To directly examine conformational changes across the active site during the ATPase cycle we have genetically engineered a mutant of chicken smooth-muscle myosin, F344W motor domain essential light chain, which contains a single tryptophan (344W) located on a short loop between two alpha helixes that traverse the upper-50 kD subdomain in front of the active site. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer was examined between the 344W donor probe and 2'(3')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl) (mant)-nucleotide acceptor probes in the active site of this construct. The observed fluorescence resonance energy transfer efficiencies were 6.4% in the presence of mant ADP and 23.8% in the presence of mant ATP, corresponding to distances of 33.4 A and 24.9 A, respectively. Our results are consistent with structural rearrangements in which there is an 8.5-A closure between the 344W residue and the mant moiety during the transition from the strongly (ADP) to weakly (ATP) actin-bound states of the myosin ATPase cycle.
