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 is the main part of the membrane stator of the ATP synthase molecular turbine. Subunit c is the building block of the membrane rotor. We have generated two molecular fusions of a and c subunits with different orientations of the helical hairpin of subunit c. The a/c fusion protein with correct orientation of transmembrane helices was inserted into the membrane, and co-incorporated into the F(0) complex of ATP synthase with wild type subunit c. The fused c subunit was incorporated into the c-ring tethering the ATP synthase rotor to the stator. The a/c fusion with incorrect orientation of the c-helices required wild type subunit c for insertion into the membrane. In this case, the fused c subunit remained on the periphery of the c-ring and did not interfere with rotor movement. Wild type subunit a inserted into the membrane equally well with wild type subunit c and c-ring assembly mutants that remained monomeric in the membrane. These results show that interaction with monomeric subunit c triggers insertion of subunit a into the membrane, and initiates formation of the a-c complex, the ion-translocating module of the ATP synthase. Correct assembly of the ATP synthase incorporating topologically correct fusion of subunits a and c validates using this model protein for high resolution structural studies of the ATP synthase proton channel.
