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

Chlamydia species are obligate intracellular bacteria that replicate within a membrane-bound vacuole, the inclusion, which is trafficked to the peri-Golgi region by processes that are dependent on early chlamydial gene expression. Although neither the host nor the chlamydial proteins that regulate the intracellular trafficking have been clearly defined, several enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-tagged Rab GTPases, including Rab6, are recruited to Chlamydia trachomatis inclusions. To further characterize the association of Rab6 with C. trachomatis inclusions, we examined the intracellular localization of guanine nucleotide-binding mutants of Rab6 and demonstrated that only active GTP-bound and not inactive GDP-bound EGFP-Rab6 mutants were recruited to the inclusion, suggesting that EGFP-Rab6 interacts with the inclusion via a host Rab6 effector or a chlamydial protein that mimics a Rab6 effector. Using EGFP-tagged fusion proteins, we also demonstrated that the Rab6 effector Bicaudal D1 (BICD1) localized to C. trachomatis inclusions in a biovar-specific manner. In addition, we demonstrated that EGFP-Rab6 and its effector EGFP-BICD1 are recruited to the inclusion in a microtubule- and Golgi apparatus-independent but chlamydial gene expression-dependent mechanism. Finally, in contrast to the Rab6-dependent Golgi apparatus localization of endogenous BICD1, EGFP-BICD1 was recruited to the inclusion by a Rab6-independent mechanism. Collectively, these data demonstrate that neither Rab6 nor BICD1 is trafficked to the inclusion via a Golgi apparatus-localized intermediate, suggesting that each protein is trafficked to the C. trachomatis serovar L2 inclusion by a unique, but as-yet-undefined, mechanism.
