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

Proteorhodopsin (PR) is a microbial proton pump that plays a significant role in phototrophy of bacteria in marine environments. Fundamental understanding of the structure-function relationship that drives proton pumping in PR has largely been elusive due to a lack of high-resolution structures of the photointermediates in the PR photocycle. Extending upon previous work, we used long-time scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize the M state of the blue variant of PR, which represents the first proton transfer that takes place in the photocycle. Several notable structural changes occur in the M state that are hallmarks of subsequent steps in the PR photocycle, indicating that although this protein is often compared to the canonical microbial rhodopsins, such as bacteriorhodopsin, PR possesses characteristics that make it distinct among the rapidly increasing and widely variable catalog of microbial rhodopsins.
