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 developed a bacterial two-hybrid system for the detection of interacting proteins that capitalizes on the folding quality control mechanism of the Twin Arginine Transporter (Tat) pathway. The Tat export pathway is responsible for the membrane translocation of folded proteins, including proteins consisting of more than one polypeptide, only one of which contains a signal peptide ("hitchhiker export"). Here, one protein (bait) is expressed as a fusion to a Tat signal peptide, whereas the second protein (prey) is fused to a protein reporter that can confer a phenotype only after export into the bacterial periplasmic space. Since the prey-reporter fusion lacks a signal peptide, it can only be exported as a complex with the bait-signal peptide fusion that is capable of targeting the Tat translocon. Using maltose-binding protein as a reporter, clones expressing interacting proteins can be grown on maltose minimal media or on MacConkey plates. In addition, we introduce the use of the cysteine disulfide oxidase DsbA as a reporter. Export of a signal peptide-prey:bait-DsbA complex into the periplasm allows complementation of dsbA(-) mutants and restores the formation of active alkaline phosphatase, which in turn can be detected by a chromogenic assay.
