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

Soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) catalyzes the hydroxylation of methane at non-heme di-iron active sites under ambient conditions. The regulatory component (MMOB) is essential for catalytic activity, inducing conformational changes in the active site and facilitating substrate ingress in hydroxylase (MMOH). Advances in cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have enabled structural studies of sMMO under near-native conditions. 3D variability analysis reveals that an asymmetric MMOH-MMOB complex predominates in solution, supporting a sequential binding mechanism. Here, we report a 2.85 Å-resolution cryo-EM structure of MMOH-1MMOB (H-1B) complex, in which a single MMOB binds to MMOH and generates two distinct protomers: MMOB-bound protomer (HB
