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

The Tol-Pal system of Escherichia coli is involved in maintaining outer membrane stability. Mutations in tolQ, tolR, tolA, tolB, or pal genes result in sensitivity to bile salts and the leakage of periplasmic proteins. Moreover, some of the tol genes are necessary for the entry of group A colicins and the DNA of filamentous bacteriophages. TolQ, TolR, and TolA are located in the cytoplasmic membrane where they interact with each other via their transmembrane domains. TolB and Pal form a periplasmic complex near the outer membrane. We used suppressor genetics to identify the regions important for the interaction between TolB and Pal. Intragenic suppressor mutations were characterized in a domain of Pal that was shown to be involved in interactions with TolB and peptidoglycan. Extragenic suppressor mutations were located in tolB gene. The C-terminal region of TolB predicted to adopt a beta-propeller structure was shown to be responsible for the interaction of the protein with Pal. Unexpectedly, none of the suppressor mutations was able to restore a correct association between Pal and peptidoglycan, suggesting that interactions between Pal and other components such as TolB may also be important for outer membrane stability.
