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

Mammalian metallothioneins (MTs) are important proteins in Zn(II) and Cu(I) homeostasis with the Zn(II) and Cu(I) binding to the 20 cysteines in metal-thiolate clusters. Previous electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometric (MS) analyses of Cu(I) binding to Zn7-MT were complicated by significant overlap of the natural abundance isotopic patterns for Zn(II) and Cu(I) leading to impossibly ambiguous stoichiometries. In this paper, isotopically pure 63Cu(I) and 68Zn(II) allowed determination of the specific stoichiometries in the 68 Zn,63Cu-βα MT1A species formed following the stepwise addition of 63Cu(I) to 68Zn7-βα MT1A. These species were characterized by ESI-MS and room temperature emission spectroscopy. The key species that form and their emission band centres are Zn5Cu5-βα MT1A (λ = 684 nm), Zn4Cu6-βα MT1A (λ = 750 nm), Zn3Cu9-βα MT1A (λ = 750 nm), Zn2Cu10-βα MT1A (λ = 750 nm), and Zn1Cu14-βα MT1A (λ = 634 nm). The specific domain stoichiometry of each species was determined by assessing the species forming following 63Cu(I) addition to the 68Zn3-β MT1A and 68Zn4-α MT1A domain fragments. The domain fragment emission suggests that Zn5Cu5-βα MT1A contains a Zn1Cu5-β cluster and the Zn4Cu6-βα MT1A, Zn3Cu9-βα MT1A, and Zn2Cu10-βα MT1A each contain a Cu6-β cluster. The species forming with >10 mol. eq. of 63Cu(I) in βα-MT1A exhibit emission from the Cu6-β cluster and an α domain cluster. This high emission intensity is seen at the end of the titrations of 68Zn7-βα MT1A and the 68Zn4-α MT1A domain fragment suggesting that the initial presence of the Zn(II) results in clustered Cu(I) binding in the α domain.
