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 dynamics of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) protein-translocation across membranes was investigated by using a single molecule assay with millisecond resolution on excised patches of neuronal cells. Translocation of BoNT/A light chain (LC) by heavy chain (HC) was observed in real time as an increase of channel conductance: the HC channel is occluded by the LC during transit, then unoccluded after completion of translocation and release of LC-cargo. We identified an entirely unknown succession of intermediate conductance stages during LC translocation. For the single-chain BoNT/E, by contrast to the di-chain BoNT/A, we demonstrate that productive translocation requires proteolysis of the LC cargo from the HC chaperone. We propose a model for the set of protein-protein interactions between translocase and cargo at each step of translocation that supports the notion of an interdependent, tight interplay between the HC chaperone and the LC cargo preventing LC aggregation and dictating the outcome of translocation: productive passage of cargo or abortive channel occlusion by cargo.
