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

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters use ATP to translocate various substrates across cellular membranes. Several members of subfamily A of mammalian ABC transporters are associated with severe health disorders, but their unusual complexity and large size have so far precluded structural characterization. ABCA4 is localized to the discs of vertebrate photoreceptor outer segments. This protein transports N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine to the outer side of disc membranes to prevent formation of toxic compounds causing macular degeneration. An 18 Å-resolution structure of ABCA4 isolated from bovine rod outer segments was determined using electron microscopy and single-particle reconstruction. Significant conformational changes in the cytoplasmic and transmembrane regions were observed upon binding of a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog and accompanied by altered hydrogen/deuterium exchange in the Walker A motif of one of the nucleotide-binding domains. These findings provide an initial view of the molecular organization and functional rearrangements for any member of the ABCA subfamily of ABC transporters.
