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

The type II secretion system (T2SS) functions as a transport mechanism to translocate proteins from the periplasm to the extracellular environment. The ExeA homologue in Aeromonas hydrophila, GspA(Ah), is an ATPase that interacts with peptidoglycan and forms an inner membrane complex with the ExeB homologue (GspB(Ah)). The complex may be required to generate space in the peptidoglycan mesh that is necessary for the transport and assembly of the megadalton-sized ExeD homologue (GspD(Ah)) secretin multimer in the outer membrane. In this study, the requirement for GspAB in the assembly of the T2SS secretin in Aeromonas and Vibrio species was investigated. We have demonstrated a requirement for GspAB in T2SS assembly in Aeromonas salmonicida, similar to that previously observed in A. hydrophila. In the Vibrionaceae species Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, gspA mutations significantly decreased assembly of the secretin multimer but had minimal effects on the secretion of T2SS substrates. The lack of effect on secretion of the mutant of gspA of V. cholerae (gspA(Vc)) was explained by the finding that native secretin expression greatly exceeds the level needed for efficient secretion in V. cholerae. In cross-complementation experiments, secretin assembly and secretion in an A. hydrophila gspA mutant were partially restored by the expression of GspAB from V. cholerae in trans, further suggesting that GspAB(Vc) performs the same role in Vibrio species as GspAB(Ah) does in the aeromonads. These results indicate that the GspAB complex is functional in the assembly of the secretin in Vibrio species but that a redundancy of GspAB function may exist in this genus.
