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

Crystallographic structure and deuterium accessibility comparisons of CcO in different redox states have suggested conformational changes of mechanistic significance. To predict the intrinsic flexibility and low energy motions in CcO, this work has analyzed available high-resolution crystallographic structures with ProFlex and elNémo computational methods. The results identify flexible regions and potential conformational changes in CcO that correlate well with published structural and biochemical data and provide mechanistic insights. CcO is predicted to undergo rotational motions on the interior and exterior of the membrane, driven by transmembrane helical tilting and bending, coupled with rocking of the β-sheet domain. Consequently, the proton K-pathway becomes sufficiently flexible for internal water molecules to alternately occupy upper and lower parts of the pathway, associated with conserved Thr-359 and Lys-362 residues. The D-pathway helices are found to be relatively rigid, with a highly flexible entrance region involving the subunit I C-terminus, potentially regulating the uptake of protons. Constriction and dilation of hydrophobic channels in RsCcO suggest regulation of the oxygen supply to the binuclear center. This analysis points to coupled conformational changes in CcO and their potential to influence both proton and oxygen access.
