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

Metal-containing formate dehydrogenases (FDH) catalyse the reversible oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide at their molybdenum or tungsten active site. They display a diverse subunit and cofactor composition, but structural information on these enzymes is limited. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopic structures of the soluble Rhodobacter capsulatus FDH (RcFDH) as isolated and in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). RcFDH assembles into a 360 kDa dimer of heterotetramers revealing a putative interconnection of electron pathway chains. In the presence of NADH, the RcFDH structure shows charging of cofactors, indicative of an increased electron load.
