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

Phytochromes are biliprotein photoreceptors found in bacteria, fungi, and plants. The soil bacterium Agrobacterium fabrum has two phytochromes, Agp1 and Agp2, which work together to control DNA transfer to plants and bacterial conjugation. Both phytochromes interact as homodimeric proteins. For fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements, various Agp1 mutants and wild-type Agp2 were labeled with specific fluorophores to study their interaction. FRET efficiencies rose from position 122 to 545 of Agp1. The photosensory chromophore module (PCM) of Agp1 did not show a FRET signal, but the PCM of Agp2 did. Docking models suggest that Agp1 and Agp2 interact with their histidine kinase and PCM perpendicular to each, around 45 amino acids of Agp1 or Agp2 are involved.
