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 Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Legionella pneumophila replicates in phagocytes within a specific compartment, the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). Formation of LCVs is a complex process requiring the bacterial Icm/Dot type IV secretion system and more than 100 translocated effector proteins, which putatively subvert cellular signaling and vesicle trafficking pathways. Phosphoinositide (PI) glycerolipids are pivotal regulators of signal transduction and membrane dynamics in eukaryotes. Recently, a number of Icm/Dot substrates were found to anchor to the LCV membrane by binding to PIs. One of these effectors, SidC, specifically interacts with phosphatidylinositol-4 phosphate [PtdIns(4)P]. Using an antibody against SidC and magnetic beads coupled to a secondary antibody, intact LCVs were purified by immuno-magnetic separation, followed by density centrifugation. This purification strategy is in principle applicable to any pathogen vacuole that carries specific markers. The LCV proteome determined by LC-MS/MS revealed 566 host proteins, including novel components of the endosomal pathway, as well as the early and late secretory trafficking pathways. Thus, LCV formation is a robust process that involves many (functionally redundant) Icm/Dot substrates, as well as the interaction with different host cell vesicle trafficking pathways.
