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

YopE, a type III secreted effector of Yersinia, is a GTPase Activating Protein for Rac1 and RhoA whose catalytic activity is critical for virulence. We found that YopE also inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inactivated Rac2. How YopE distinguishes among its targets and which specific targets are critical for Yersinia survival in different tissues are unknown. A screen identifying YopE mutants in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis that interact with different Rho GTPases showed that YopE residues at positions 102, 106, 109 and 156 discern among switch I and II regions of Rac1, Rac2 and RhoA. Two mutants, which expressed YopE alleles with different antiphagocytic, ROS-inhibitory and cell-rounding activities, YptbL109A and YptbESptP, were studied in animal infections. Inhibition of both phagocytosis and ROS production were required for splenic colonization, whereas fewer YopE activities were required for Peyer's patch colonization. This study shows that Y. pseudotuberculosis encounters multiple host defences in different tissues and uses distinct YopE activities to disable them.
