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

ProP is a member of the major facilitator superfamily, a proton-osmolyte symporter, and an osmosensing transporter. ProP proteins share extended cytoplasmic carboxyl terminal domains (CTDs) implicated in osmosensing. The CTDs of the best characterized, group A ProP orthologs, terminate in sequences that form intermolecular, antiparallel α-helical coiled coils (e.g., ProPEc, from Escherichia coli). Group B orthologs lack that feature (e.g., ProPXc, from Xanthomonas campestris). ProPXc was expressed and characterized in E. coli to further elucidate the role of the coiled coil in osmosensing. The activity of ProPXc was a sigmoid function of the osmolality in cells and proteoliposomes. ProPEc and ProPXc attained similar activities at the same expression level in E. coli. ProPEc transports proline and glycine betaine with comparable high affinities at low osmolality. In contrast, proline weakly inhibited high-affinity glycine-betaine uptake via ProPXc. The K
