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 aspartate:alanine exchanger family of membrane transporters includes industrially important transporters such as succinate exporter and glutamate exporter. No high-resolution structure is available from this family so far, and the transport mechanism of these transporters also remains unclear. In the present study, we focus on the oligomeric status of the aspartate:alanine antiporter (AspT) of Tetragenococcus halophilus, which is the prototype of this family. To investigate the oligomeric structure of AspT, we established a system that produces high yields of highly purified AspT and determined the oligomeric structure of AspT by analysis with size exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle light scattering and blue native PAGE and by comparison of the wild-type AspT with a single-cysteine mutant that forms spontaneous inter-molecular thiol crosslinking. All the results consistently support the notion that AspT is a homodimer in solutions and in membranes.
