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

Lactococcus lactis, a food-grade nonpathogenic lactic acid bacterium, is a good candidate for the production of heterologous proteins of therapeutic interest. We examined host factors that affect secretion of heterologous proteins in L. lactis. Random insertional mutagenesis was performed with L. lactis strain MG1363 carrying a staphylococcal nuclease (Nuc) reporter cassette in its chromosome. This cassette encodes a fusion protein between the signal peptide of the Usp45 lactococcal protein and the mature moiety of a truncated form of Nuc (NucT). The Nuc secretion efficiency (secreted NucT versus total NucT) from this construct is low in L. lactis (approximately 40%). Twenty mutants affected in NucT production and/or in secretion capacity were selected and identified. In these mutants, several independent insertions mapped in the dltA gene (involved in D-alanine transfer in lipoteichoic acids) and resulted in a NucT secretion defect. Characterization of the dltA mutant phenotype with respect to NucT secretion revealed that it is involved in a late secretion stage by causing mature NucT entrapment at the cell surface.
