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

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium invade non-phagocytic cells by injecting bacterial effector proteins to exploit the host actin cytoskeleton network. SipC is such a Salmonella effector known to nucleate actin, bundle F-actin, and translocate type III effectors. The molecular mechanism of how SipC bundles F-actin and SipC domains responsible for these activities are not well characterized. We successfully separated these activities through a series of genetic deletion/insertions in SipC. We found that the C terminus (amino acids 200-409) of SipC bundled actin filaments using in vitro biochemical assays. We further demonstrated that amino acid residues 221-260 and 381-409 of full-length SipC were indispensable for its actin binding and bundling activities. Furthermore, Salmonella mutant strains lacking the actin bundling activity were less invasive into HeLa cells. These studies indicate that the C terminus of SipC bundles F-actin to promote Salmonella invasion.
