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

Heterologous expression of recombinant proteins is an essential technology for protein characterization. A major obstacle to investigating the biochemical properties of membrane proteins is the difficulty in obtaining sufficient amounts of functional protein. Here we report the successful expression of the tricarboxylate (or citrate) carrier (CIC) of eel (Anguilla anguilla) from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells using the baculovirus expression system. The recombinant CIC was purified by affinity chromatography on Ni(2+)-NTA agarose; the yield of the purified active protein was 0.4-0.5 mg/l of culture. The transport characteristics of the recombinant CIC and the effects of inhibitors on transport are similar to those determined for eel liver mitochondrial CIC. Because the CIC is one member of an extensive family of mitochondrial transport proteins, it is likely that the procedure used in this study to express and purify this carrier can be successfully applied to other mitochondrial transport proteins, thus providing sufficient protein for functional characterization.
