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 serotonin transporter (SERT), responsible for the reuptake of released serotonin, serves as a major target for antidepressants and psychostimulants. Nevertheless, refining the mechanistic models for SERT remains challenging. Here, we expand the molecular understanding of the binding of ions, substrates, and inhibitors to SERT by incorporating the fluorescent non-canonical amino acid Anap through genetic code expansion. We elucidate steady-state changes in conformational dynamics of purified SERT with Anap inserted at intracellular- or extracellular sites. This uncovers the competitive mechanisms underlying cation binding and assigns distinct binding- and allosteric coupling patterns for several inhibitors and substrates. Finally, we track in real-time conformational transitions in response to the interaction with Na
