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

Upon completion of the flagellar hook-basal body (HBB) structure, the flagellar type III secretion system switches from secreting rod/hook-type to filament-type substrates. The secretion specificity switch has been reported to occur prematurely (prior to HBB completion) in flk-null mutants (P. Aldridge, J. E. Karlinsey, E. Becker, F. F. Chevance, and K. T. Hughes, Mol. Microbiol. 60:630-643, 2006) and in distal rod gene gain-of-function mutants (flgG* mutants) that produce filamentous rod structures (F. F. Chevance, N. Takahashi, J. E. Karlinsey, J. Gnerer, T. Hirano, R. Samudrala, S. Aizawa, and K. T. Hughes, Genes Dev. 21:2326-2335, 2007). A fusion of beta-lactamase (Bla) to the C terminus of the filament-type secretion substrate FlgM was used to select for mutants that would secrete FlgM-Bla into the periplasmic space and show ampicillin resistance (Ap(r)). Ap(r) resulted from null mutations in the flhE gene, C-terminal truncation mutations in the flhA gene, null and dominant mutations in the flk gene, and flgG* mutations. All mutant classes required the hook length control protein (FliK) and the rod cap protein (FlgJ) for the secretion specificity switch to occur. However, neither the hook (FlgE) nor the hook cap (FlgD) protein was required for premature FlgM-Bla secretion in the flgG* and flk mutant strains, but it was in the flhE mutants. Unexpectedly, when deletions of either flgE or flgD were introduced into flgG* mutant strains, filaments were able to grow directly on the filamentous rod structures.
