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 major route for protein export or membrane integration in bacteria occurs via the Sec-dependent transport apparatus. The core complex in the inner membrane, consisting of SecYEG, forms a protein-conducting channel, while the ATPase SecA drives translocation of substrate across the membrane. The SecYEG complex from Escherichia coli was overexpressed, purified and crystallized in two dimensions. A 9 A projection structure was calculated using electron cryo-microscopy. The structure exhibits P12(1) symmetry, having two asymmetric units inverted with respect to one another in the unit cell. The map shows elements of secondary structure that appear to be transmembrane helices. The crystallized form of SecYEG is too small to comprise the translocation channel and does not contain a large pore seen in other studies. In detergent solution, the SecYEG complex displays an equilibrium between monomeric and tetrameric forms. Our results therefore indicate that, unlike other known channels, the SecYEG complex can exist as both an assembled channel and an unassembled smaller unit, suggesting that transitions between the two states occur during a functional cycle.
