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

Diffusion of two Escherichia coli outer membrane proteins-the cobalamin (vitamin B12) receptor (BtuB) and the OmpF porin, which are implicated in the cellular import pathways of colicins and phages-was measured in vivo. The lateral mobility of these proteins is relevant to the mechanism of formation of the translocon for cellular import of colicins such as the rRNase colicin E3. The diffusion coefficient (D) of BtuB, the primary colicin receptor, complexed to fluorescent antibody or colicin, is 0.05±0.01 μm2/s and 0.10±0.02 μm2/s, respectively, over a timescale of 25-150 ms. Mutagenesis of the BtuB TonB box, which eliminates or significantly weakens the interaction between BtuB and the TonB energy-transducing protein that is anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane, resulted in a fivefold larger value of D, 0.27±0.06 μm2/s for antibody-labeled BtuB, indicating a cytoskeletal-like interaction of TonB with BtuB. OmpF has a diffusion coefficient of 0.006±0.002 μm2/s, ∼10-fold smaller than that of BtuB, and is restricted within a domain of diameter 100 nm, showing it to be relatively immobile compared to BtuB. Thus, formation of the outer membrane translocon for cellular import of the nuclease colicins is a demonstrably dynamic process, because it depends on lateral diffusion of BtuB and collisional interaction with relatively immobile OmpF.
