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 this study, we examined the effects of modifying the C-terminal region of the SecA protein on the production of heterologous proteins in Bacillus subtilis. SecA was selected as a candidate among the components of the Sec system due to its ability to interact directly with both the precursors and membrane translocases. A phylogenetic comparison demonstrated that the C-terminal region is not well conserved among eubacterial SecA proteins. The deletion of the 61 amino acids at the C-terminal region led to an 83% increase in extracellular alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. thermostable alkaline cellulase (Egl-237) activity. Moreover, the productivity of human interferon α (hIFN-α2b) was increased by 2.2-fold compared to the wild-type SecA, by deletion of these 61 amino acids. We indicated that the deletion of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of SecA enhanced the secretion of two different heterologous protein, Egl-237 and hIFN-α2b. This study provides a useful method to enhance the extracellular production of heterologous proteins in B. subtilis.
