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

In human pathogenic fungi, receiver domains from hybrid histidine kinases (hHK) have to recognize one HPt. To understand the recognition mechanism, we have assessed phosphorelay from receiver domains of five hHKs of group III, IV, V, VI, and XI to HPt from Chaetomium thermophilum and obtained the structures of Ct_HPt alone and in complex with the receiver domain of hHK group VI. Our data indicate that receiver domains phosphotransfer to Ct_HPt, show a low affinity for complex formation, and prevent a Leu-Thr switch to stabilize phosphoryl groups, also derived from the structures of the receiver domains of hHK group III and Candida albicans Sln1. Moreover, we have elucidated the envelope structure of C. albicans Ypd1 using small-angle X-ray scattering which reveals an extended flexible conformation of the long loop αD-αE which is not involved in phosphotransfer. Finally, we have analyzed the role of salt bridges in the structure of Ct_HPt alone.
