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

Membrane proteins diffuse within the membrane, form oligomers and supramolecular assemblies. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy, we present direct experimental measure of an in-membrane-plane interaction potential between membrane proteins. In purple membranes, ATP-synthase c-rings formed dimers that temporarily dissociated. C-ring dimers revealed subdiffusive motion, while dissociated monomers diffused freely. C-rings center-to-center distance probability distribution allowed the calculation and modeling of an in-membrane-plane energy landscape that presented repulsion at 80 Å, most stable dimer association at 103 Å (-3.5 k(B)T strength), and dissociation at 125 Å (-1 k(B)T strength). This first experimental data of nonlabeled membrane protein diffusion and the corresponding in-membrane-plane interaction energy landscape characterized membrane protein interaction with an attractive range of several k(B)T that reaches to a radius of ∼50 Å within the membrane plane.
