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

Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction is a key process in the global sulfur and carbon cycles in anoxic ecosystems. In this anaerobic respiration, sulfate is phosphorylated and reduced to sulfite, which is further reduced to a DsrC-trisulfide by the dissimilatory sulfite reductase DsrAB. DsrD is a small protein that acts as an allosteric activator of DsrAB, increasing the efficiency of sulfite reduction. Here, we report a detailed study of DsrD and its interaction with DsrAB. Sequence similarity analyses show that there are three groups of DsrD in organisms with a reductive-type DsrAB. The protein regions involved in the DsrD-DsrAB interaction and activity-promoting effect were investigated through in vitro and in silico studies, including mutations of conserved DsrD residues. The results reveal that the conserved β-loop of DsrD is involved in the interaction, contributing to a better understanding of its mechanism of action.
