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

It was demonstrated in recent studies that some rhodopsins can be used in optogenetics as fluorescent indicators of membrane voltage. One of the promising candidates for these applications is archaerhodopsin-3. While it has already shown encouraging results, there is still a large room for improvement. One of possible directions is increasing the intensity of the protein's fluorescent signal. Rational design of mutants with an improved signal is an important task, which requires both experimental and theoretical studies. Herein, we used a homology-based computational approach to predict the three-dimensional structure of archaerhodopsin-3, and a Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) hybrid approach with high-level multireference ab initio methodology (SORCI+Q/AMBER) to model optical properties of this protein. We demonstrated that this methodology allows for reliable prediction of structure and spectral properties of archaerhodopsin-3. The results of this study can be utilized for computational molecular design of efficient fluorescent indicators of membrane voltage for modern optogenetics on the basis of archaerhodopsin-3.
