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

Transporter proteins are essential across the tree of life as they provide a cell with a means of exchanging vital metabolites with the external milieu. Characterizing the function of transporters is challenging and traditionally uses methods involving radiolabelled substrates, which requires prolonged exposure times and specialist equipment. Here, we provide an alternative method to the classical uptake assay using Raman spectroscopy to detect the uptake of alkyne-labelled substrates and determine transporter function. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate the method using a candidate nucleotide transporter (ThNTT4) expressed in
