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

Typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitous peroxidases that are involved in peroxide scavenging and/or the regulation of peroxide signaling in eukaryotes. Despite their prevalence, very few Prxs have been reliably characterized in terms of their substrate specificity profile and redox potential even though these values are important for gaining insight into physiological function. Here, we present such studies focusing on Salmonella typhimurium alkyl hydroperoxide reductase C component (StAhpC), an enzyme that has proven to be an excellent prototype of this largest and most widespread class of Prxs that includes mammalian Prx I-Prx IV. The catalytic efficiencies of StAhpC (k(cat)/K(m)) are >10(7) M(-1).s(-1) for inorganic and primary hydroperoxide substrates and approximately 100-fold less for tertiary hydroperoxides, with the difference being exclusively caused by changes in K(m). The oxidative inactivation of AhpC through reaction with a second molecule of peroxide shows parallel substrate specificity. The midpoint reduction potential of StAhpC is determined to be -178 +/- 0.4 mV, a value much higher than most other thiol-based redox proteins. The relevance of these results for our understanding of Prx and the physiological role of StAhpC is discussed.
