Computational studies for the structure and function of mRPE65.
Article in Journal of theoretical biology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 mRPE65 protein is one form of the RPE65 protein and plays a very important role in the visual cycle. However, its 3D structure and detailed mechanism of function are still unclear because of difficulties with isolation and crystallization. This computational study reports a model for the mRPE65 protein structure derived from a model for sRPE65. The natural substrate for RPE65 has been shown to be a retinyl ester and, by utilizing the Autodock and the Ligplot programs, the interactions between the ester and the protein as well as the effects of several mutations on these interactions are studied. Finally, the position of the binding site is proposed based on an iterative process and the effects of the mutations on the binding site are also discussed.
