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

Single-molecule FRET (smFRET) can visualize conformational dynamics of individual ion channels in lipid bilayers of defined composition. Dynamic and distance measurements from smFRET, combined with single channel recordings, can provide previously unattainable direct mechanistic insights into ion channel function and modulation. smFRET measurements require site-specific fluorophore labeling between two distinct sites, which is a major challenge for multimeric ion channels. This chapter aims to provide a step-by-step protocol: (1) to design concatemeric constructs with only two cysteine residues within a homotetrameric channel; (2) to express, purify, label, and reconstitute channel proteins; (3) to perform smFRET imaging on channel proteins in liposomes with an objective-based Total Internal Reflection (TIRF) microscope; and finally (4) to analyze the FRET distributions and dynamics that reflect the dynamic conformational transitions of ion channels in membranes.
