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

Palmitylation is a widespread modification in G-protein-coupled receptors and often a dynamic process. In rhodopsins, palmitylation is static on C322/C323. Red/green (M/LWS) cone opsins have no cysteines at corresponding positions and no palmitylation. Blue (SWS2) cone opsins have a single corresponding cysteine and mass spectrometric analysis showed partial palmitylation of salamander SWS2 cone opsin. Ultraviolet (SWS1) cone opsins have one corresponding cysteine, but only unpalmitylated opsin was observed for mouse and salamander. The results show that the static palmitylation found on rhodopsin is not found on cone opsins and suggest the possibility of an unidentified role for opsin palmitylation in cones.
