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

Escherichia coli YidC is a polytopic inner membrane protein that plays an essential and versatile role in the biogenesis of inner membrane proteins. YidC functions in Sec-dependent membrane insertion but acts also independently as a separate insertase for certain small membrane proteins. We have used a site-specific cross-linking approach to show that the conserved third transmembrane segment of YidC contacts the transmembrane domains of both nascent Sec-dependent and -independent substrates, indicating a generic recognition of insertion intermediates by YidC. Our data suggest that specific residues of the third YidC transmembrane segment alpha-helix is oriented toward the transmembrane domains of nascent inner membrane proteins that, in contrast, appear quite flexibly positioned at this stage in biogenesis.
