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

Nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs) represent a unique nanometer-sized scaffold for supporting membrane proteins (MP). Characterization of their dynamic shape and association with MP in solution remains a challenge. Here, we present a rapid method of analysis by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to characterize bacteriorhodopsin (bR), a membrane protein capable of forming a NLP complex. By selectively labeling individual components of NLPs during cell-free synthesis, FCS enabled us to measure specific NLP diffusion times and infer size information for different NLP species. The resulting bR-loaded NLPs were shown to be dynamically discoidal in solution with a mean diameter of 7.8 nm. The insertion rate of bR in the complex was ∼55% based on a fit model incorporating two separate diffusion properties to best approximate the FCS data. More importantly, based on these data, we infer that membrane protein associated NLPs are thermodynamically constrained as discs in solution, while empty NLPs appear to be less constrained and dynamically spherical.
