Watching the walk: observing chemo-mechanical coupling in a processive myosin motor.
Article in HFSP journal, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Molecular motors are cellular nanomachines that convert the energy from nucleotide binding, hydrolysis, and product release into mechanical work. Because molecular motors contribute to fundamental processes in all living organisms, including genome replication, gene transcription, protein synthesis, organelle transport, and cell division, understanding how the chemical (ATP utilization) and mechanical (motility) cycles are linked is of fundamental importance. A recent study reports the direct visualization of simultaneous nucleotide binding and mechanical displacement of a single myosin 5a molecule, a processive molecular motor protein that takes successive approximately 36-nm steps along actin filaments of the cytoskeleton. This new work demonstrates an exciting advance in single-molecule enzymology and advances our understanding of the link between chemical catalysis and mechanical work in molecular motors, particularly those that operate under internal and external loads.
