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 degradation of ssrA-tagged substrates in prokaryotes is conducted by a subset of ATP-dependent proteases, including ClpXP complex. More than 630 sequences of ssrA have been identified from 514 species, and are conserved in a wide range of prokaryotes. SspB protein markedly stimulates the degradation of these ssrA-tagged substrates by the ClpXP proteolytic machine. The dimeric SspB protein is composed of a compact ssrA-binding domain, which has a dimerization surface and a flexible C-terminal tail with a ClpX-binding motif at its very end. Since SspB is an adaptor protein for the ClpXP complex, designed mutagenesis, fluorescence spectroscopy, biochemistry and X-ray crystallography have been used to investigate the mechanism of delivery of ssrA-tagged proteins. In this paper the structural basis of ssrA-tag recognition by ClpX and SspB, as well as SspB-tail recognition by ZBD, is described.
