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
In the present report, the region of interaction between the GDP-bound alpha-subunit of transducin (alphat.GTP) and the cGMP phosphodiesterase inhibitory gamma-subunit (Pgamma) has been studied. It is widely accepted that the alphat.GTP is the active form of transducin and that the GDP-bound transducin alpha-subunit (alphat. GDP) is the inactive form. We have reported previously that the binding region of the C-terminal of Pgamma on alphat.GTP is in a region between the exposed face of the alpha3 and alpha4 helices of alphat.GTP [Liu, Arshavsky and Ruoho (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 26900-26907]. We now report that N-[(3-[125I]iodo-4-azidophenylpropionamido-S-(2-thiopyridyl) ]cysteine ([125I]ACTP)-derivatized Pgamma (at Cys-68) reversibly undergoes a unique disulphide exchange of the radioiodinated moiety N-(3-[125I]iodo-4-azidophenylpropionamido)cysteine ([125I]APC) from Cys-68 of Pgamma to alphat.GDP but not to the guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)-triphosphate (GTP[S])-bound transducin alpha-subunit (alphat-GTP[S]). The specificity of the interaction was demonstrated by the fact that exchange was protected by the functionally active Cys-68-->Ala Pgamma mutant, and by pretreatment of the alphat.GDP with the betagamma-subunit of transducin. Chemical cleavage and amino acid sequencing demonstrated that the [125I]ACTP-derived Pgamma specifically transferred the [125I]APC group to Cys-250 and Cys-210 of alphat.GDP. These data indicate that the C-terminal region (especially Cys-68-Trp-70) of Pgamma interacts with alphat. GDP on the exposed interface between alpha2/beta4 and alpha3/beta5 of the alpha-subunit of transducin. Disulphide exchange was also observed with the alpha-subunit of holotransducin but this was only approx. 60% of that of pure alphat.GDP. The variation in the binding pattern between alphat.GDP and alphat.GTP with the C-terminal region of Pgamma may contribute to the functional difference between the GDP- and GTP-bound states.
