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

YscU, a component of the Yersinia type III secretion machine, promotes auto-cleavage at asparagine 263 (N263). Mutants with an alanine substitution at yscU codon 263 displayed secretion defects for some substrates (LcrV, YopB and YopD); however, transport of effector proteins into host cells (YopE, YopH, YopM) continued to occur. Two yscU mutations were isolated that, unlike N263A, completely abolished type III secretion; YscU(G127D) promoted auto-cleavage at N263, whereas YscU(G270N) did not. When fused to glutathione S-transferase (Gst), the YscU C-terminal cytoplasmic domain promoted auto-cleavage and Gst-YscU(C) also exerted a dominant-negative phenotype by blocking type III secretion. Gst-YscU(C/N263A) caused a similar blockade and Gst-YscU(C/G270N) reduced secretion. Gst-YscU(C) and Gst-YscU(C/N263A) bound YscL, the regulator of the ATPase YscN, whereas Gst-YscU(C/G270N) did not. When isolated from Yersinia, Gst-YscU(C) and Gst-YscU(C/N263A) associated with YscK-YscL-YscQ; however, Gst-YscU(C/G270N) interacted predominantly with the machine component YscO, but not with YscK-YscL-YscQ. A model is proposed whereby YscU auto-cleavage promotes interaction with YscL and recruitment of ATPase complexes that initiate type III secretion.
