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

Cells of Flavobacterium johnsoniae glide rapidly over surfaces by an unknown mechanism. Seven genes (gldA, gldB, gldD, gldF, gldG, gldH, and ftsX) that are required for gliding motility have been described. Complementation of the nonmotile mutants UW102-41, UW102-85, and UW102-92 identified another gene, gldI, that is required for gliding motility. gldI mutants formed nonspreading colonies, and individual cells were completely nonmotile. They were also resistant to bacteriophages that infect wild-type cells, and they failed to digest chitin. Introduction of wild-type gldI on a plasmid restored colony spreading, cell motility, phage sensitivity, and the ability to digest chitin to the gldI mutants. gldI encodes a predicted 199-amino-acid protein that localized to the membrane fraction. Labeling studies with [(3)H]palmitate indicated that GldI is a lipoprotein. GldI is similar to peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans-isomerases of the FK506-binding protein family and may be involved in folding cell envelope protein components of the motility machinery.
