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

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful biophysical technique for study of the structural dynamics of membrane proteins. Many of these proteins interact with ligands or proteins on one or both sides of the membrane. Membrane proteins are typically reconstituted in proteoliposomes to observe their function in a physiologically relevant environment. However, membrane proteins can insert into liposomes in two different orientations, and surfaces facing the lumen of the vesicle can be inaccessible to ligands. This heterogeneity can lead to subpopulations that do not respond to ligand binding, complicating EPR spectral analysis, particularly for distance measurements. Using the well-characterized maltose transporter, an ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter that interacts with ligands on both sides of the membrane, we provide evidence that reconstitution into nanodiscs, which are soluble disk-shaped phospholipid bilayers, is an ideal solution to these problems. We describe the functional reconstitution of the maltose transporter into nanodiscs and demonstrate that this system is ideally suited to study conformational changes and intramolecular distances by EPR.
