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

Computer simulation was used to perform a comparative study of the molecular dynamics of rhodopsin containing the chromophore group (11-cis-retinal) and free opsin. The molecular dynamics were followed over a time interval of 3000 psec; a total of 3 x 10(6) discrete conformational states of rhodopsin and opsin. The presence of the chromophore group in the chromophore center of opsin was shown to have significant effects on the immediate protein environment of the chromophore and the conformational state of the cytoplasmic domain, but to have virtually no effect on the conformational state of the intradisk domain. The simulation results are used to discuss the possible intramolecular mechanism by which rhodopsin is maintained as a G-protein-coupled receptor in the inactive state, i.e., the function of the chromophore as an effective antagonist ligand.
