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

SecY is a central component of the export machinery that mediates the translocation of secretory proteins across the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli. We have cloned and sequenced the secY genes from Bacillus licheniformis and Staphylococcus carnosus. The deduced amino acid sequences are highly homologous to those of other known SecY polypeptides, all having the potential to form 10 transmembrane segments. Comparative analysis of 9 SecY polypeptides, derived from different bacteria, revealed that 14 amino acid positions (2.7%) are identical in all SecY proteins and 89 (16.9%) show conservative changes. Clusters of conserved amino acid residues were found in 4 of the 10 transmembrane segments and 2 of the 6 cytoplasmic domains. It is suggested that the conserved regions might be involved in the translocation activity of SecY or might be required for the correct interaction of SecY with other components of the secretion apparatus.
