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

Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are key determinants of virulence in many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Upon cell contact, they inject effector proteins directly into eukaryotic cells through a needle protruding from the bacterial surface. Host cell sensing occurs through a distal needle "tip complex," but how this occurs is not understood. The tip complex of quiescent needles is composed of IpaD, which is topped by IpaB. Physical contact with host cells initiates secretion and leads to assembly of a pore, formed by IpaB and IpaC, in the host cell membrane, through which other virulence effector proteins may be translocated. IpaB is required for regulation of secretion and may be the host cell sensor. It binds needles via its extreme C-terminal coiled coil, thereby likely positioning a large domain containing its hydrophobic regions at the distal tips of needles. In this study, we used short deletion mutants within this domain to search for regions of IpaB involved in secretion regulation. This identified two regions, amino acids 227 to 236 and 297 to 306, the presence of which are required for maintenance of IpaB at the needle tip, secretion regulation, and normal pore formation but not invasion. We therefore propose that removal of either of these regions leads to an inability to block secretion prior to reception of the activation signal and/or a defect in host cell sensing.
