Membrane-induced changes in the holomyoglobin tertiary structure: interplay with function.
Article in European biophysics journal : EBJ, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 effect of anionic phospholipid membranes on holomyoglobin (holoMb) conformation and deoxygenation was studied. HoloMb structural changes and behavior in the presence of membranes were monitored by a variety of techniques including far UV and near UV circular dichroism, tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence, absorbance in the Soret region, differential scanning calorimetry, (1)H-NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, and macroscopic diffusion. Kinetics of deoxygenation was monitored by absorption at 581 nm. The results gave evidence that proximity to a negatively charged membrane surface can cause destabilization of the structure of holomyoglobin, which delivers oxygen (O2) to mitochondria. It was shown that holoMb undergoes the native-to-intermediate-state transition in the presence of anionic phospholipid membranes at neutral pH, and that in this state it is able to interact with the membranes. When in the intermediate state, holoMb loses its rigid tertiary structure but preserves a pronounced secondary one. The presence of anionic phospholipid membranes substantially accelerates the process of deoxygenation. A possible functional role of the more flexible protein structure acquired in immediate proximity to the membrane surface is discussed.
