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

Our understanding of the rules controlling the spectral tuning of light absorbing proteins is limited. When looking at rhodopsins as canonical examples, the fact that the cavity incorporates the chromophore counterion in different positions and polar residues with different orientations, leads to patterns of electrostatic potential whose effect is not obvious. In this work we use a model of the optogenetic reporter Arch-3 capable to describe the effect of the diffusion of its counterion charge on both excitation energies (
