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

Putative metal-chelate-type ABC transporter HI1470/1 is homologous with vitamin B(12) importer BtuCD but exhibits a distinct inward-facing conformation in contrast to the outward-facing conformation of BtuCD. Normal-mode analysis of HI1470/1 reveals the intrinsic asymmetric conformational flexibility in this transporter and demonstrates that the transition from the inward-facing to the outward-facing conformation is realized through the asymmetric motion of individual subunits of the transporter. This analysis suggests that the asymmetric arrangement of the BtuC dimer in the crystal structure of the BtuCD-F complex represents an intermediate state relating HI1470/1 and BtuCD. Furthermore, a twisting motion between transmembrane domains and nucleotide-binding domains encoded in the lowest-frequency normal mode of this type of importer is found to contribute to the conformational transitions during the whole cycle of substrate transportation. A more complete translocation mechanism of the BtuCD type importer is proposed.
