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 leader sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu,ZnSOD) contains a prokaryotic membrane lipoprotein attachment site. In the present study, we have found that the protein, which exhibits detectable SOD activity, is lipid-modified and associated with the bacterial membrane when expressed either in M. tuberculosis or in Escherichia coli. These results provide the first demonstration of lipid modification of a Cu,ZnSOD. An analysis of the sodC genes present in available databases indicates that the same signal for lipid modification is also present in the sodC gene products from other mycobacteria and Gram-positive bacteria and, uniquely, in two distinct sodC gene products from the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella typhimurium. Evidence is also provided for an up-regulation of M. tuberculosis sodC in response to phagocytosis by human macrophages, suggesting that Cu,ZnSOD is involved in the mechanisms that facilitate mycobacterial intracellular growth.
