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 putative gene (st2133) for ferredoxin:NADP(+) oxidoreductase (FNR) from Sulfolobus tokodaii, a thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon, was heterologously expressed. About 90% of the purified product was a homodimer containing 0.46 mol FAD/mol subunit, and showing NADPH:DCPIP oxidoreductase activity, V max being 1.38 and 21.8 U/mg (70 °C) in the absence and presence of 1 mM FMN. NADPH was a much better electron donor than NADH with various electron acceptors, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, DCPIP, cytochrome c, and dithiobisnitrobenzoate. Most of the reactions were activated by 15- to 140-fold on addition of FMN, while FAD was 5-10 times less effective. Ferredoxin (Fd) from S. tokodaii served as an electron carrier in both Fd-dependent NADPH formation and NADPH-dependent Fd reduction. ST2133 belongs to the thioredoxin reductase-like protein family, which is slightly distantly related to FNR family proteins from bacteria, plants and man. This is the first report on FNR from a crenarchaeon, providing a clue to the recycling of Fd during archaeal metabolism.
