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

Hemoproteins are widely researched because they contain redox-active heme prosthetic groups (iron + protoporphyrin IX) that enable them to perform a range of vital functions, acting as enzymes, participants in electron transfer reactions, or gas sensing, carrying, and storage proteins. While the heme prosthetic group is almost always essential for hemoprotein function, it is frequently desirable to remove it from the protein to enable biochemical or protein engineering studies. Obtaining high yields of the apo form of the hemoprotein can be challenging since high heme-protein binding affinities necessitate the use of harsh conditions to remove heme. In this Bio-Protocol, we present three chemical extraction methods that can be used to efficiently remove heme: methyl ethyl ketone extraction, acid-acetone precipitation, and on-column heme extraction. We also present protocols that can be used to quantitate the amount of residual heme bound to the protein after performing the extraction procedures.
