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

Intracellular replication of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium within membrane-bound compartments, called Salmonella-containing vacuoles, depends on the activities of several effector proteins translocated by the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2)-encoded type III secretion system. The SPI-2 effector protein SseJ shows similarity at the amino acid level to several GDSL lipases with glycerophospholipid : cholesterol acyltransferase (GCAT) activity. In this study, we show that catalytic serine-dependent phospholipase A (PLA) and GCAT activity of recombinant SseJ is potentiated by factor(s) present in HeLa cells, RAW macrophages and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. SseJ activity was enhanced with increasing amounts of, or preincubation with, eukaryotic cell extracts. Analysis of the activating factor(s) shows that it is soluble and heat- and protease-sensitive. We conclude that PLA and GCAT activities of SseJ are potentiated by proteinaceous eukaryotic factor(s).
