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

Phototropin2 (phot2) is a blue-light (BL) receptor protein that regulates the BL-dependent activities of plants for efficient photosynthesis. Phot2 is composed of two light-oxygen-voltage sensing domains (LOV1 and LOV2) to absorb BL, and a kinase domain. Photo-activated LOV domains, especially LOV2, play a major role in photo-dependent increase in the phosphorylation activity of the kinase domain. The atomic details of the overall structure of phot2 and the intramolecular mechanism to convert BL energy to a phosphorylation signal remain unknown. We performed structural studies on the LOV fragments LOV1, LOV2, LOV2-linker, and LOV2-kinase, and full-length phot2, using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The aim of the study was to understand structural changes under BL irradiation and discuss the molecular mechanism that enhance the phosphorylation activity under BL. SAXS is a suitable technique for visualizing molecular structures of proteins in solution at low resolution and is advantageous for monitoring their structural changes in the presence of external physical and/or chemical stimuli. Structural parameters and molecular models of the recombinant specimens were obtained from SAXS profiles in the dark, under BL irradiation, and after dark reversion. LOV1, LOV2, and LOV2-linker fragments displayed minimal structural changes. However, BL-induced rearrangements of functional domains were noted for LOV2-kinase and full-length phot2. Based on the molecular model together with the absorption measurements and biochemical assays, we discuss the intramolecular interactions and domain motions necessary for BL-enhanced phosphorylation activity of phot2.
