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

ATP is synthesized by an enzyme that utilizes proton motive force and thus nature creates various proton pumps. The best understood proton pump is bacteriorhodopsin (BR), an outward-directed light-driven proton pump in Halobacterium salinarum. Many archaeal and eubacterial rhodopsins are now known to show similar proton transport activity. Proton pumps must have a specific mechanism to exclude transport in the reverse direction to maintain a proton gradient, and in the case of BR, a highly hydrophobic cytoplasmic domain may constitute such machinery. Although an inward proton pump has neither been created naturally nor artificially, we recently reported that an inward-directed proton transport can be engineered from a bacterial rhodopsin by a single amino acid replacement Anabaena sensory rhodopsin (ASR) is a photochromic sensor in freshwater cyanobacteria, possessing little proton transport activity. When we replace Asp217 at the cytoplasmic domain (distance ∼ 15 Å from the retinal chromophore) to Glu, ASR is converted into an inward proton transport, driven by absorption of a single photon. FTIR spectra clearly show an increased proton affinity for Glu217, which presumably controls the unusual directionality opposite to normal proton pumps.
