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

Bacteria have long been thought of as little more than sacks of homogeneously distributed enzymes. However, recent cytological studies indicate that bacteria are compartmentalized with proteins involved in processes such as cell division, motility, chemotaxis, and development located at distinct sites. We have used the green fluorescent protein as a reporter to determine the cellular distribution of the extracellular protein secretion (eps)-encoded type II secretion complex responsible for extracellular secretion of cholera toxin and hemagglutinin/protease in Vibrio cholerae. Real-time monitoring of green fluorescent protein fused to EpsM in living cells indicated that, like the single polar flagellum, the Eps complex is located at the old pole after cell division. Eps-dependent protease secretion was also visualized in single cells by fluorescence microscopy by using intramolecularly quenched casein. This analysis demonstrated that active protease secretion is focused at the poles and colocalizes with the site of the polar Eps apparatus. These results suggest that the type II secretion complex is responsible for directed delivery of virulence factors during cholera pathogenesis.
