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

SecA signal peptide interaction is critical for initiating protein translocation in the bacterial Sec-dependent pathway. Here, we have utilized the recent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Förster resonance energy transfer studies that mapped the location of the SecA signal peptide-binding site to design and isolate signal peptide-binding-defective secA mutants. Biochemical characterization of the mutant SecA proteins showed that Ser226, Val310, Ile789, Glu806, and Phe808 are important for signal peptide binding. A genetic system utilizing alkaline phosphatase secretion driven by different signal peptides was employed to demonstrate that both the PhoA and LamB signal peptides appear to recognize a common set of residues at the SecA signal peptide-binding site. A similar system containing either SecA-dependent or signal recognition particle (SRP)-dependent signal peptides along with the prlA suppressor mutation that is defective in signal peptide proofreading activity were employed to distinguish between SecA residues that are utilized more exclusively for signal peptide recognition or those that also participate in the proofreading and translocation functions of SecA. Collectively, our data allowed us to propose a model for the location of the SecA signal peptide-binding site that is more consistent with recent structural insights into this protein translocation system.
