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

We have determined that virulent Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain Rlow is capable of binding the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin. Fibronectin was found to be present in M. gallisepticum Rlow protein extracts by Western blotting and peptide sequencing. Mycoplasma gallisepticum Rhigh, the attenuated, high-passage derivative of Rlow, is deficient in this ability. MGA_1199, the M. gallisepticum homologue of the cytadherence-associated protein P65 from Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and MGA_0928, the M. gallisepticum homologue of the M. pneumoniae cytoskeletal protein HMW3, were identified as fibronectin-binding proteins. Peptides from the regions of MGA_1199 and MGA_0928 exhibiting the highest degree of homology with known fibronectin-binding proteins were shown to bind the gelatin/heparin-binding domain of fibronectin. MGA_1199 and MGA_0928 were shown to be absent and aberrant, respectively, in Rhigh, explaining its lack of fibronectin-binding capability. Consistent with its M. pneumoniae counterpart, MGA_1199 (renamed PlpA) was demonstrated to be surface exposed, despite a lack of classical membrane-spanning domains. Due to its demonstrated topology and the strength of interaction between its binding peptide and fibronectin, we propose that PlpA functions as a fibronectin-binding protein in vivo and may possess atypical transmembrane domains.
