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

Microbial rhodopsin is a retinal protein that functions as an ion pump, channel, and sensory transducer, as well as a light sensor, as in biosensors and biochips. Tara76 rhodopsin is a typical proton-pumping rhodopsin that exhibits strong stability against extreme pH, detergent, temperature, salt stress, and dehydration stress and even under dual and triple conditions. Tara76 rhodopsin has a thermal stability approximately 20 times higher than that of thermal rhodopsin at 80°C and is even stable at 85°C. Tara76 rhodopsin is also stable at pH 0.02 to 13 and exhibits strong resistance in detergent, including Triton X-100 and SDS. We tested the current flow that electrical current flow across dried proteins on the paper at high temperatures using an electrode device, which was measured stably from 25°C up to 120°C. These properties suggest that this Tara76 rhodopsin is suitable for many applications in the fields of bioengineering and biotechnology.
