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

Intimins from pathogenic bacteria promote intimate bacterial adhesion to epithelial cells. Several structurally similar domains form on the bacterial cell surface an extended rigid rod that exposes the carboxy-terminal domain, which interacts with the translocated intimin receptor. We constructed a series of intimin-derived fusion proteins consisting of carboxy-terminally truncated intimin and the immunoglobulin light-chain variable domain REIv, ubiquitin, calmodulin, beta-lactamase inhibitor protein, or beta-lactamase. By systematically investigating the intimin-mediated cell surface exposure of these passenger domains in the presence or absence of compounds that interfere with outer membrane stability or passenger domain folding, we acquired experimental evidence that intimin-mediated protein export across the outer membrane requires, prior to export, the maintenance of a translocation-competent conformation that may be distinct from the final protein structure. We propose that, during export, competition exists between productive translocation and folding of the passenger domain in the periplasm into a stable conformation that is not compatible with translocation through the bacterial outer membrane. These results may expand understanding of the mechanism by which intimins are inserted into the outer membrane and expose extracellular domains on the cell surface.
