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

Xanthorhodopsin is a light-driven proton pump like bacteriorhodopsin, but made more effective for collecting light by its second chromophore, salinixanthin, a carotenoid. Action spectra for transport and fluorescence of the retinal upon excitation of the carotenoid indicate that the carotenoid functions as an antenna to the retinal. The calculated center-to-center distance and angle of the transition moments of the two chromophores are 11 A and 56 degrees , respectively. As expected from their proximity, the carotenoid and the retinal closely interact: tight binding of the carotenoid, as indicated by its sharpened vibration bands and intense induced circular dichroism in the visible, is removed by hydrolysis of the retinal Schiff base, and restored upon reconstitution with retinal. This antenna system, simpler than photosynthetic complexes, is well-suited to study features of excited-state energy migration.
