The TolC-like protein of neisseria meningitidis is required for extracellular production of the repeats-in-toxin toxin FrpC but not for resistance to antimicrobials recognized by the Mtr efflux pump system.

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

A 2.9-kilobase pair locus in Neisseria meningitidis was identified as containing transcriptionally linked open reading frames encoding TolC- and HlyD-like proteins. Although the meningococcal TolC protein was required for extracellular production of the repeats-in-toxin (RTX) FrpC toxin, it could not functionally replace the MtrE protein as the outer membrane protein channel for drug export by the MtrC-MtrD-MtrE efflux pump.
