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

The genes MPN141 and MPN142 encode the major adhesin P1 and the cytadherence-related B/C proteins (P90/P40), respectively, in Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Using reverse transcriptase PCR we found open reading frames MPN140 to MPN142 constitute a polycistronic transcriptional unit. Cytadherence mutant IV-22 has a frameshift mutation in MPN141 and lacks the P1, B, or C proteins. Recombinant MPN141 and/or MPN142 were introduced into mutant IV-22 by transposon delivery in several configurations, and the levels of the P1, B, and C proteins were assessed by immunoblotting. MPN142 in mutant IV-22 has a wild-type nucleotide sequence, yet the introduction of recombinant MPN141 alone to mutant IV-22, although it restored P1 levels, failed to restore levels of B or C. In contrast, recombinant MPN141 and MPN142 delivered in cis or in trans were sufficient to restore all three proteins. Taken together, our data indicated that some but not all synthesis of B or C is dependent on coupling to the translation of P1 immediately upstream of MPN142 and demonstrated that proteins B and C are not stable in the absence of P1. The linkage of MPN141 and MPN142 at the levels of transcription, translation, and protein stability, in addition to their previously demonstrated colocalization and the requirement of B and/or C for P1 function, reinforces the conclusion that these proteins constitute a multiprotein complex that functions in receptor binding.
