The C terminus of the flagellar muramidase SltF modulates the interaction with FlgJ in Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Macromolecular structures such as the bacterial flagellum in Gram-negative bacteria must traverse the cell wall. Lytic transglycosylases are capable of enlarging gaps in the peptidoglycan meshwork to allow the efficient assembly of supramolecular complexes. We have previously shown that in Rhodobacter sphaeroides SltF, the flagellar muramidase, and FlgJ, a flagellar scaffold protein, are separate entities that interact in the periplasm. In this study we show that the export of SltF to the periplasm is dependent on the SecA pathway. A deletion analysis of the C-terminal portion of SltF shows that this region is required for SltF-SltF interaction. These C terminus-truncated mutants lose the capacity to interact with themselves and also bind FlgJ with higher affinity than does the wild-type protein. We propose that this region modulates the interaction with the scaffold protein FlgJ during the assembly process.
