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

Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium of proven safety for use in human oral applications. For this purpose, surface display of recombinant proteins is important, and new approaches for it are being sought. Analysis of the bacterial surface proteome is essential in identifying new candidate carrier proteins for surface display. We have made two different predictions of surface-associated proteins of L. lactis MG1363 by using Augur and LocateP software, which yielded 666 and 648 proteins, respectively. Surface proteins of L. lactis NZ9000, a derivative of MG1363, were identified by using a proteomics approach. The surface proteins were cleaved from intact bacteria, and the resulting peptides were identified by mass spectrometry. The latter approach yielded 80 proteins, 34 of which were not predicted by either software. Of the 80 proteins, 7 were selected for further study. These were cloned in frame with a C-terminal hexahistidine tag and overexpressed in L. lactis NZ9000 using nisin-controlled expression. Proteins of correct molecular weight carrying a hexahistidine tag were detected. Their surface localization was confirmed with flow cytometry. Basic membrane protein A (BmpA) was exposed at the highest level. To test BmpA as a candidate carrier protein, the hexahistidine tag was replaced by the B domain of staphylococcal protein A in the genetic construct. The B domain was displayed on the surface with BmpA as a carrier. The advantage of covalent BmpA binding was demonstrated. BmpA was thus shown to be a suitable candidate for a carrier protein in lactococcal surface display.
