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

A membrane-anchored cytochrome c-550, which is highly expressed in obligately alkaliphilic Bacillus clarkii K24-1U, was purified and characterized. The protein contained a conspicuous sequence of Gly(22)-Asn(34), in comparison with the other Bacillus small cytochromes c. Analytical data indicated that the original and lipase-treated intermediate forms of cytochrome c-550 bind to fatty acids of C(15), C(16) and C(17) chain lengths and C(15) chain length, respectively, and it was considered that these fatty acids are bound to glycerol-Cys(18). Since there was a possibility that the presence of a diacylglycerol anchor contributed to the formation of dimeric states of this protein (20 and 17 kDa in SDS-PAGE), a C18M (Cys(18) --> Met)-cytochrome c-550 was constructed. The molecular mass of the C18M-cytochrome c-550 was determined as 15 and 10 kDa in SDS-PAGE and 23 kDa in blue native PAGE. The C18M-cytochrome c-550 bound with or without Triton X-100 formed a tetramer as the original cytochrome c-550 bound with Triton X-100, as determined by gel filtration. The midpoint redox potential of cytochrome c-550 as determined by redox titration was +83 mV, while that determined by cyclic voltammetric measurement was +7 mV. The above results indicate that cytochrome c-550 is a novel cytochrome c.
