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 TonB protein is involved in energ-coupled receptor-dependent transport processes across the outer membrane. The TonB protein is anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane but exposed to the periplasmic space. To fulfill its function, it has to couple the energy-providing metabolism in the cytoplasmic membrane with regulation of outer membrane receptor activity. Ferrichrome and albomycin transport, uptake of colicin M, and infection by the phages T1 and phi 80 occur via the same receptor, the FhuA protein in the outer membrane. Therefore, this receptor is particularly suitable for the study of energy-coupled TonB-dependent transport across the outer membrane. Ferrichrome, albomycin and colicin M bind to the FhuA receptor but are not released into the periplasmic space of unenergized cells, or tonB mutants. In vivo interaction between FhuA and TonB is suggested by the restoration of activity of inactive FhuA proteins, bearing amino acid replacements in the TonB box, by TonB derivatives with single amino acid substitutions. Point mutations in the fhuA gene are suppressed by point mutations in the tonB gene. In addition, naturally occurring degradation of the TonB protein and its derivatives is preferentially prevented in vivo by FhuA and FhuA derivatives where functional interaction takes place. It is proposed that in the energized state, TonB induces a conformation in FhuA which leads to the release of the FhuA-bound compounds into the periplasmic space. Activation of FhuA by TonB depends on the ExbBD proteins in the cytoplasmic membrane. They can be partially replaced by the TolQR proteins which show strong sequence similarity to the ExbBD proteins.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
