Accurate atomic resolution XFEL structures of a metalloenzyme reveal key insights into its catalytic mechanism.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Metalloproteins represent a major fraction of the protein kingdom and often exploit the redox chemistry of transition metals to drive key biological events involving proton and electron transfer. Copper is one of the most widely used transition metals whose redox properties are utilised in both electron transfer and catalysis of chemical substrates. Copper nitrite reductases (CuNiRs) utilise two types of copper centres and have become a model system for studying complex biological events that underpin the reaction mechanisms of redox enzymes, including proton-coupled electron transfer and substrate gating. We utilised the higher X-ray energy (13 keV) available at the SACLA X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) and SHELXL refinement to obtain accurate atomic resolution structures of CuNiRs at ~1 Å from three organisms - in the oxidised (low and high pH), reduced and substrate-bound states. A consistent picture now emerges with the observation of a pentacoordinated oxidised catalytic type-2 Cu (T2Cu
