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

Energy coupling processes in respiratory complex I, a large redox-driven proton pump in the inner mitochondrial membrane, remain one of the most enigmatic problems in modern bioenergetics. Recent high-resolution cryo-EM structures of complex I revealed extensive hydration in the interior of the protein, including the buried E channel, which is an acidic charged conduit that bridges the quinone binding cavity with the extended membrane domain of the enzyme. Despite the general agreement that E channel participates in proton transfer, the absence of proton density in the cryo-EM maps poses a significant challenge to develop viable models of proton pumping. By adhering to the hypothesis that E channel catalyzes transfer of proton(s) from the quinone binding cavity to the membrane-bound proton pumping site(s), we performed hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the ∼2.4 Å cryo-EM structure of mitochondrial complex I from
