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 HAMP linker, a predicted structural element observed in many sensor kinases and methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins, transmits signals between sensory input modules and output modules. HAMP linkers are located immediately inside the cytoplasmic membrane and are predicted to form two short amphipathic alpha-helices (AS-1 and AS-2) joined by an unstructured connector. HAMP linkers are found in the Escherichia coli nitrate- and nitrite-responsive sensor kinases NarX and NarQ (which respond to ligand by increasing kinase activity) and the sensor kinase CpxA (which responds to ligand by decreasing kinase activity). We constructed a series of hybrids with fusion points throughout the HAMP linker, in which the sensory modules of NarX or NarQ are fused to the transmitter modules of NarX, NarQ, or CpxA. A hybrid of the NarX sensor module and the CpxA HAMP linker and transmitter module (NarX-CpxA-1) responded to nitrate by decreasing kinase activity, whereas a hybrid in which the HAMP linker of NarX was replaced by that of CpxA (NarX-CpxA-NarX-1) responded to nitrate by increasing kinase activity. However, sequence variations between HAMP linkers do not allow free exchange of HAMP linkers or their components. Certain deletions in the NarX HAMP linker resulted in characteristic abnormal responses to ligand; similar deletions in the NarQ and NarX-CpxA-1 HAMP linkers resulted in responses to ligand generally similar to those seen in NarX. We conclude that the structure and action of the HAMP linker are conserved and that the HAMP linker transmits a signal to the output domain that ligand is bound.
