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

F(1)-ATPase is the catalytic domain of F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase and consists of a hexameric arrangement of three noncatalytic α and three catalytic β subunits. We have used unbiased molecular dynamics simulations with a total simulation time of 900 ns to investigate the dynamic relaxation properties of isolated β-subunits as a step toward explaining the function of the integral F(1) unit. To this end, we simulated the open (β(E)) and the closed (β(TP)) conformations under unbiased conditions for up to 120 ns each using several samples. The simulations confirm that nucleotide-free β(E) retains its open configuration over the course of the simulations. The same is true when the neighboring α subunits are included. The nucleotide-depleted as well as the nucleotide-bound isolated β(TP) subunits show a significant trend toward the open conformation during our simulations, with one trajectory per case opening completely. Hence, our simulations suggest that the equilibrium conformation of a nucleotide-free β-subunit is the open conformation and that the transition from the closed to the open conformation can occur on a time scale of a few tens of nanoseconds.
