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

Protein conformations play crucial roles in most, if not all, biological processes. Here we show that the current carried through a nanopore by ions allows monitoring conformational changes of single and native substrate-binding domains (SBD) of an ATP-Binding Cassette importer in real-time. Comparison with single-molecule Förster Resonance Energy Transfer and ensemble measurements revealed that proteins trapped inside the nanopore have bulk-like properties. Two ligand-free and two ligand-bound conformations of SBD proteins were inferred and their kinetic constants were determined. Remarkably, internalized proteins aligned with the applied voltage bias, and their orientation could be controlled by the addition of a single charge to the protein surface. Nanopores can thus be used to immobilize proteins on a surface with a specific orientation, and will be employed as nanoreactors for single-molecule studies of native proteins. Moreover, nanopores with internal protein adaptors might find further practical applications in multianalyte sensing devices.
