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

Many virulence-related, bacterial effector proteins are translocated directly into the cytosol of host cells by the type III secretion (TTS) system. Translocation of most TTS effectors requires binding by specific chaperones in the bacterial cytosol, although how chaperones promote translocation is unclear. To provide insight into the action of such chaperones, we studied the consequences of binding by the Yersinia chaperone SycE to the effector YopE by NMR. These studies examined the intact form of the effector, whereas prior studies have been limited to well ordered fragments. We found that YopE had the characteristics of a natively unfolded protein, with its N-terminal 100 residues, including its chaperone-binding (Cb) region, flexible and disordered in the absence of SycE. SycE binding caused a pronounced disorder-to-order transition in the Cb region of YopE. The effect of SycE was strictly localized to the Cb region, with other portions of YopE being unperturbed. These results provide stringent limits on models of chaperone action and are consistent with the chaperone promoting formation of a three-dimensional targeting signal in the Cb region of the effector. The target of this putative signal is unknown but appears to be a bacterial component other than the TTS ATPase YscN.
