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

In ion-coupled transport proteins, occupation of selective ion-binding sites is required to trigger conformational changes that lead to substrate translocation. Neurotransmitter transporters, targets of abused and therapeutic drugs, require Na(+) and Cl(-) for function. We recently proposed a chloride-binding site in these proteins not present in Cl(-)-independent prokaryotic homologues. Here we describe conversion of the Cl(-)-independent prokaryotic tryptophan transporter TnaT to a fully functional Cl(-)-dependent form by a single point mutation, D268S. Mutations in TnaT-D268S, in wild type TnaT and in serotonin transporter provide direct evidence for the involvement of each of the proposed residues in Cl(-) coordination. In both SERT and TnaT-D268S, Cl(-) and Na(+) mutually increased each other's potency, consistent with electrostatic interaction through adjacent binding sites. These studies establish the site where Cl(-) binds to trigger conformational change during neurotransmitter transport.
