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

Surface proteins of gram-positive bacteria often play a role in adherence of the bacteria to host tissue and are frequently required for virulence. A specific subgroup of extracellular proteins contains the cell wall-sorting motif LPxTG, which is the target for cleavage and covalent coupling to the peptidoglycan by enzymes called sortases. A comprehensive set of putative sortase substrates was identified by in silico analysis of 199 completely sequenced prokaryote genomes. A combination of detection methods was used, including secondary structure prediction, pattern recognition, sequence homology, and genome context information. With the hframe algorithm, putative substrates were identified that could not be detected by other methods due to errors in open reading frame calling, frameshifts, or sequencing errors. In total, 732 putative sortase substrates encoded in 49 prokaryote genomes were identified. We found striking species-specific variation for the LPxTG motif. A hidden Markov model (HMM) based on putative sortase substrates was created, which was subsequently used for the automatic detection of sortase substrates in recently completed genomes. A database was constructed, LPxTG-DB (http://bamics3.cmbi.kun.nl/sortase_substrates), containing for each genome a list of putative sortase substrates, sequence information of these substrates, the organism-specific HMMs based on the consensus sequence of the sortase recognition motif, and a graphic representation of this consensus.
