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

Subunit a of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPases plays an important role in proton transport. This membrane-integral 100-kDa subunit is thought to form or contribute to proton-conducting hemichannels that allow protons to gain access to and leave buried carboxyl groups on the proteolipid subunits (c, c', and c″) during proton translocation. We previously demonstrated that subunit a contains a large N-terminal cytoplasmic domain followed by a C-terminal domain containing eight transmembrane (TM) helices. TM7 contains a buried arginine residue (Arg-735) that is essential for proton transport and is located on a helical face that interacts with the proteolipid ring. To further define the topology of the C-terminal domain, the accessibility of 30 unique cysteine residues to the membrane-permeant reagent N-ethylmaleimide and the membrane-impermeant reagent polyethyleneglycol maleimide was determined. The results further define the borders of transmembrane segments in subunit a. To identify additional buried polar and charged residues important in proton transport, 25 sites were individually mutated to hydrophobic amino acids, and the effect on proton transport was determined. These and previous results identify a set of residues important for proton transport located on the cytoplasmic half of TM7 and TM8 and the lumenal half of TM3, TM4, and TM7. Based upon these data, we propose a tentative model in which the cytoplasmic hemichannel is located at the interface of TM7 and TM8 of subunit a and the proteolipid ring, whereas the lumenal hemichannel is located within subunit a at the interface of TM3, TM4, and TM7.
