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

Cytochrome c(z) is found in green sulfur photosynthetic bacteria, and is considered to be the only electron donor to the special pair P840 of the reaction center. It consists of an N-terminal transmembrane domain and a C-terminal soluble domain that binds a single heme group. Large scale expression of the C-terminal functional domain of the cytochrome c(z) (C-cyt c(z)) from the thermophilic bacterium Chlorobium tepidum has been achieved using the Escherichia coli expression system. The C-cyt c(z) expressed has been highly purified, and is stable at room temperature over 10 days of incubation for both reduced and oxidized forms. Spectroscopic measurements indicate that the heme iron in C-cyt c(z) is in a low-spin state and this does not change with the redox state. (1)H-NMR spectra of the oxidized C-cyt c(z) exhibited unusually large paramagnetic chemical shifts for the heme methyl protons in comparison with those of other Class I ferric cytochromes c. Differences in the (1)H-NMR linewidth were observed for some resonances, indicating different dynamic environments for these protons. Crystals of the oxidized C-cyt c(z) were obtained using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. The crystals diffracted X-rays to a maximum resolution of 1.2 A, and the diffraction data were collected to 1.3 A resolution.
