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

In this study, we investigated the ultrafast dynamics of bacteriorhodopsins (BRs) from Haloquadratum walsbyi (HwBR) and Haloarcula marismortui (HmBRI and HmBRII). First, the ultrafast dynamics were studied for three HwBR samples: wild-type, D93N mutation, and D104N mutation. The residues of the D93 and D104 mutants correspond to the control by the Schiff base proton acceptor and donor of the proton translocation subchannels. Measurements indicated that the negative charge from the Schiff base proton acceptor residue D93 interacts with the ultrafast and substantial change of the electrostatic potential associated with chromophore isomerization. By contrast, the Schiff base proton donor assists the restructuring of the chromophore cavity hydrogen-bond network during the thermalization of the vibrational hot state. Second, the ultrafast dynamics of the wild-types of HwBR, HmBRI, and HmBRII were compared. Measurements demonstrated that the hydrogen-bond network in the extracellular region in HwBR and HmBRII slows the photoisomerization of retinal chromophores, and the negatively charged helices on the cytoplasmic side of HwBR and HmBRII accelerate the thermalization of the vibrational hot state of retinal chromophores. The similarity of the correlation spectra of the wild-type HmBRI and D104N mutant of HwBR indicates that inactivation of the Schiff base proton donor induces a positive charge on the helices of the cytoplasmic side.
