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

Atomic force microscopy has emerged as a valuable complementary technique in membrane structural biology. The apparatus is capable of probing individual membrane proteins in fluid lipid bilayers at room temperature with spatial resolution at the molecular length scale. Protein conformational dynamics are accessible over a range of biologically relevant timescales. This chapter presents methodology our group uses to achieve robust AFM image data of the General Secretory system, the primary pathway of protein export from the cytoplasm to the periplasm of E. coli. Emphasis is given to measuring and maintaining biochemical activity and to objective AFM image processing methods. For example, the biochemical assays can be used to determine chemomechanical coupling efficiency of surface adsorbed translocases. The Hessian blob algorithm and its extension to nonlocalized linear features, the line detection algorithm, provide automated feature delineations. Many of the methods discussed here can be applied to other membrane protein systems of interest.
