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

The multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters catalyze active efflux of a broad range of chemically- and structurally-diverse compounds including antimicrobials and chemotherapeutics, thus contributing to multidrug resistance in pathogenic bacteria and cancers. Multiple methodological approaches have been taken to investigate the structural basis of energy transduction and substrate translocation in MATE transporters. Crystal structures representing members from all three MATE subfamilies have been interpreted within the context of an alternating access mechanism that postulates occupation of distinct structural intermediates in a conformational cycle powered by electrochemical ion gradients. Here we review the structural biology of MATE transporters, integrating the crystallographic models with biophysical and computational studies to define the molecular determinants that shape the transport energy landscape. This holistic analysis highlights both shared and disparate structural and functional features within the MATE family, which underpin an emerging theme of mechanistic diversity within the framework of a conserved structural scaffold.
