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

In all domains of life Oxa1p-like proteins are involved in membrane protein biogenesis. Bacillus subtilis, a model organism for gram-positive bacteria, contains two Oxa1p homologs: SpoIIIJ and YqjG. These molecules appear to be mutually exchangeable, although SpoIIIJ is specifically required for spore formation. SpoIIIJ and YqjG have been implicated in a posttranslocational stage of protein secretion. Here we show that the expression of either spoIIIJ or yqjG functionally compensates for the defects in membrane insertion due to YidC depletion in Escherichia coli. Both SpoIIIJ and YqjG complement the function of YidC in SecYEG-dependent and -independent membrane insertion of subunits of the cytochrome o oxidase and F(1)F(o) ATP synthase complexes. Furthermore, SpoIIIJ and YqjG facilitate membrane insertion of F(1)F(o) ATP synthase subunit c from both E. coli and B. subtilis into inner membrane vesicles of E. coli. When isolated from B. subtilis cells, SpoIIIJ and YqjG were found to be associated with the entire F(1)F(o) ATP synthase complex, suggesting that they have a role late in the membrane assembly process. These data demonstrate that the Bacillus Oxa1p homologs have a role in membrane protein biogenesis rather than in protein secretion.
