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

ABC transporters are a large and important family of membrane proteins involved in substrate transport across the membrane. The transported substrates are quite diverse, ranging from monatomic ions to large biomolecules. Consequently, some ABC transporters are involved in biomedically relevant situations, from genetic diseases to multidrug resistance. The most conserved domains in ABC transporters are the nucleotide binding domains (NBDs), which form a dimer responsible for the binding and hydrolysis of ATP, concomitantly with substrate translocation. To elucidate how ATP hydrolysis structurally affects the NBD dimer, and consequently the transporter, we performed a molecular dynamics study on the NBD dimer of the HlyB ABC exporter. We have observed a change in the contact surface between the monomers after hydrolysis, even though we have not seen dimer opening in any of the five 100 ns simulations. We have also identified specific regions that respond to ATP hydrolysis, in particular the X-loop motif of ABC exporters, which has been shown to be in contact with the coupling helices of the transmembrane domains (TMDs). We propose that this motif is an important part of the NBD-TMD communication in ABC exporters. Through nonequilibrium analysis, we have also identified gradual conformational changes within a short time scale after ATP hydrolysis.
