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

FRET between the zinc porphyrin (ZnP) chromophore in zinc-substituted cytochrome c (Zn-cyt c) and an Alexa Fluor dye attached to specific surface sites was used to characterize Zn-cyt c unfolding. The use of ZnP as a fluorescent acceptor eliminates the need to doubly label the protein with exogenous dyes to perform FRET experiments in which both donor and acceptor fluorescence is monitored. The requirement for attachment of only one dye also minimizes perturbation to the protein. This sensitive technique allowed for the determination of distances between the label placed at six different sites and ZnP through a range of denaturant concentrations. Fitting of the data to a three-state model provides distances in the unfolding intermediate. The use of ZnP as a fluorescent acceptor of energy in FRET has a significant potential for application to a range of other systems including heme-binding proteins and proteins to which a covalently attached heme tag may be added.
