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

SpoIIE is a bifunctional protein which controls sigmaF activation and formation of the asymmetric septum in sporulating Bacillus subtilis. The spoIIE gene of B. subtilis has now been overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and SpoIIE has been purified by anion-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography. Kinetic studies showed that the rate of dephosphorylation of SpoIIAA-P by purified SpoIIE in vitro was 100 times greater, on a molar basis, than the rate of phosphorylation of SpoIIAA by SpoIIAB. The intracellular concentrations of SpoIIE and SpoIIAB were measured by quantitative immunoblotting between 0 and 4 h after the beginning of sporulation. The facts that these concentrations were very similar at hour 2 and that SpoIIE could be readily detected before asymmetric septation suggest that SpoIIE activity may be strongly regulated.
