Cellular localization of predicted transmembrane and soluble chemoreceptors in Sinorhizobium meliloti.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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.
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
Bacterial chemoreceptors primarily locate in clusters at the cell pole, where they form large sensory complexes which recruit cytoplasmic components of the signaling pathway. The genome of the soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti encodes seven transmembrane and two soluble chemoreceptors. We have investigated the localization of all nine chemoreceptors in vivo using genome-encoded fusions to a variant of the enhanced green fluorescent protein and to monomeric red fluorescent protein. Six of the transmembrane (McpT to McpX and McpZ) and both soluble (McpY and IcpA) receptors localize to the cell pole. Only McpS, encoded from the symbiotic plasmid pSymA, is evenly distributed in the cell. While the synthesis of all polar localized receptors is confined to exponential growth correlating with the motility phase of cells, McpS is only weakly expressed throughout cell culture growth. Therefore, motile S. meliloti cells form one major chemotaxis cluster that harbors all chemoreceptors except for McpS. Colocalization and deletion analysis demonstrated that formation of polar foci by the majority of receptors is dependent on other chemoreceptors and that receptor clusters are stabilized by the presence of the chemotaxis proteins CheA and CheW. The transmembrane McpV and the soluble IcpA localize to the pole independently of CheA and CheW. However, in mutant strains McpV formed delocalized polar caps that spread throughout the cell membrane while IcpA exhibited increased bipolarity. Immunoblotting of fractionated cells revealed that IcpA, which lacks any hydrophobic domains, nevertheless is associated to the cell membrane.
