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

The respiratory complex I is a redox-driven proton pump that employs the free energy released from quinone reduction to pump protons across its complete ca. 200 Å wide membrane domain. Despite recently resolved structures and molecular simulations, the exact mechanism for the proton transport process remains unclear. Here we combine large-scale molecular simulations with quantum chemical density functional theory (DFT) models to study how contacts between neighboring antiporter-like subunits in the membrane domain of complex I affect the proton transfer energetics. Our combined results suggest that opening of conserved Lys/Glu ion pairs within each antiporter-like subunit modulates the barrier for the lateral proton transfer reactions. Our work provides a mechanistic suggestion for key coupling effects in the long-range force propagation process of complex I.
