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 red-light photoreceptors first identified in plants, with homologs found in bacteria and fungi that regulate a variety of critical physiological processes. They undergo a reversible photocycle between two distinct states: a red-light-absorbing phytochrome (Pr) form and a far-red light-absorbing phytochrome (Pfr) form. This Pr-to-Pfr photoconversion controls the activity of a C-terminal enzymatic domain, typically a histidine kinase (HK). The molecular mechanisms underlying light-induced regulation of HK activity in bacteria remain poorly understood, as structures of unmodified bacterial phytochromes with HK activity were unknown until recently. Here, we report details of using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the structure of an intact (full-length) bacteriophytochrome.
