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

The parallel model for the bacteriorhodopsin (BR) photocycle at neutral pH and a temperature near 20 degrees C contains an M-fast cycle with steps BR-->K-->L-->Mf-->N-->O-->BR and an M-slow cycle which contains steps BR-->K-->L-->Ms-->BR. With increasing actinic laser strength, the M-fast cycle at first rises faster than the M-slow cycle, but reaches saturation sooner and at a lower level than the M-slow cycle. The O-intermediate shows the same saturation behavior as Mf. In this paper, we show that the peak current of proton flux and the apparent voltages developed by this flux show the same saturation behavior as Ms, which is very different from that of both M f and O. It is further shown that most of the proton-charge displacement is connected with the step Ms-->BR. The optical and electrical data in these studies were collected simultaneously by a newly designed and built spectrometer which is described separately.
