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

The ATP synthase (F(O)F1) of Escherichia coli couples the translocation of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane to the synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP. This nanomotor is composed of the rotor c10γε and the stator ab2α3β3δ. To study the assembly of this multimeric enzyme complex consisting of membrane-integral as well as peripheral hydrophilic subunits, we combined nearest neighbor analyses by intermolecular disulfide bond formation or purification of partially assembled F(O)F1 complexes by affinity chromatography with the use of mutants synthesizing different sets of F(O)F1 subunits. Together with a time-delayed in vivo assembly system, the results demonstrate that F(O)F1 is assembled in a modular way via subcomplexes, thereby preventing the formation of a functional H(+)-translocating unit as intermediate product. Surprisingly, during the biogenesis of F(O)F1, F1 subunit δ is the key player in generating stable F(O). Subunit δ serves as clamp between ab2 and c10α3β3γε and guarantees that the open H(+) channel is concomitantly assembled within coupled F(O)F1 to maintain the low membrane proton permeability essential for viability, a general prerequisite for the assembly of multimeric H(+)-translocating enzymes.
