Molecular Properties and Optogenetic Applications of Enzymerhodopsins.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are ubiquitous secondary messengers that regulate multiple biological functions including gene expression, differentiation, proliferation, and cell survival. In sensory neurons, cyclic nucleotides are responsible for signal modulation, amplification, and encoding. For spatial and temporal manipulation of cyclic nucleotide dynamics, optogenetics have a great advantage over pharmacological approaches. Enzymerhodopsins are a unique family of microbial rhodopsins. These molecules are made up of a membrane-embedded rhodopsin domain, which binds an all trans-retinal to form a chromophore, and a cytoplasmic water-soluble catalytic domain. To date, three kinds of molecules have been identified from lower eukaryotes such as fungi, algae, and flagellates. Among these, histidine kinase rhodopsin (HKR) is a light-inhibited guanylyl cyclase. Rhodopsin GC (Rh-GC) functions as a light-activated guanylyl cyclase, while rhodopsin PDE (Rh-PDE) functions as a light-activated phosphodiesterase that degrades cAMP and cGMP. These enzymerhodopsins have great potential in optogenetic applications for manipulating the intracellular cyclic nucleotide dynamics of living cells. Here we introduce the molecular function and applicability of these molecules.
