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

Auracyanin (Ac) is a blue copper protein that mediates the electron transfer between Alternative Complex III (ACIII) and downstream electron acceptors in both fort chains of filamentous anoxygenic phototrophs. Here, we extracted and purified the air-oxidized RfxAc from the photoheterotrophically grown Roseiflexus castenholzii, and we illustrated the structural basis underlying its electron transferring features. Spectroscopic and enzymatic analyses demonstrated the reduction of air-oxidized RfxAc by the ACIII upon oxidation of menaquinol-4 and menaquinol-7. Crystal structures of the air-oxidized and Na-dithionite-reduced RfxAc at 2.2 and 2.0 Å resolutions, respectively, showed that the copper ions are coordinated by His77, His146, Cys141, and Met151 in minor different geometries.
