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 isolated and characterized a gene for a putative protein-disulfide oxidoreductase (phdsb) in the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii. The open reading frame of phdsb encodes a protein of 170 amino acids with an NH(2)-terminal extension similar to the bacterial signal peptides. The putative mature region of PhDsb includes a sequence motif, Cys-Pro-His-Cys (CPHC), that is conserved in members of the bacterial DsbA family, but otherwise the archaeal and bacterial sequences do not show substantial similarity. A recombinant protein corresponding to the predicted mature form of PhDsb behaved as a monomer and manifested oxidoreductase activities in vitro similar to those of DsbA of Escherichia coli. The catalytic activity of PhDsb was thermostable and was shown by mutation analysis to depend on the NH(2)-terminal cysteine residue of the CPHC motif. Thus, in spite of their low overall sequence similarities, DsbA-like proteins of archaea and bacteria appear to be highly similar in terms of function.
