Kinetics of ATP/ADP binding to the gp16 ATPase.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 gp16 ATPase is the constituent subunit of the pentameric dsDNA (double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid) translocation motor of the Bacillus subtilis Φ29 bacteriophage. Although recent single-molecule studies have provided tantalizing clues about the activity of this motor, the mechanism by which the gp16 subunits couple the energy obtained from the binding and hydrolysis of ATP to the mechanical work of dsDNA translocation remains unknown. To address this need, we have characterized the binding of fluorophore-labeled ATP and ADP to monomeric gp16 using a stopped-flow fluorescence assay. These experiments show that the binding of ATP/ADP occurs through a single-step mechanism with corresponding affinities of 523.8 ± 247.3 nM for ATP and a lower limit of 30 μM for ADP. When analyzed through the lens of changes in free energy of the system, this difference in binding affinities is reasonable for a cyclical process of binding, hydrolysis, and product release. In addition to answering questions about the activity of monomeric gp16, these results are also a necessary step in constructing a model for intersubunit communication within the pentameric gp16 motor.
