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

MdfA from Escherichia coli is a prototypical secondary multi-drug (Mdr) transporter that exchanges drugs for protons. MdfA-mediated drug efflux is driven by the proton gradient and enabled by conformational changes that accompany the recruitment of drugs and their release. In this work, we applied distance measurements by W-band double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy to explore the binding of mito-TEMPO, a nitroxide-labeled substrate analog, to Gd(III)-labeled MdfA. The choice of Gd(III)-nitroxide DEER enabled measurements in the presence of excess of mito-TEMPO, which has a relatively low affinity to MdfA. Distance measurements between mito-TEMPO and MdfA labeled at the periplasmic edges of either of three selected transmembrane helices (TM3
