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 X-ray structure of the homodimeric chaperone CesT is the only structure among the type three secretion system (TTSS) chaperones that shows a domain swap. This swap has potential importance for the mechanism of effector translocation through a TTSS. Here we present two nuclear magnetic resonance strategies exploiting pre-existing structural models and residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), which reveal the unswapped 35.4-kDa dimer to be present in solution. Particularly efficient is the discrimination of a swapped and unswapped structural state performed simultaneously to automatic backbone assignment using only HN-RDCs and carbonyl backbone chemical shifts. This direct approach may prove to be generally useful to rapidly differentiate two structural models.
