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

Mycoplasma mobile, a freshwater fish pathogen featured with robust gliding motility, binds to the surface of the gill, where it then colonizes. Here, to obtain a whole image of its cell surface, we identified the proteins exposed on the surface using the following methods. (i) The cell surface was labeled with sulfosuccinimidyl-6-(biotinamido) hexanoate and recovered by an avidin column. (ii) The cells were subjected to phase partitioning using Triton X-114, and the hydrophobic proteins were recovered. (iii) The membrane fraction was analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. These recovered proteins were subjected to peptide mass fingerprinting, and a final list of 36 expressed surface proteins was established. The ratio of identified proteins to whole surface proteins was estimated through two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the membrane fraction. The localization of three newly found proteins, Mvsps C, E, and F, has been clarified by immunofluorescence microscopy. Integrating all information, a whole image of the cell surface showed that the proteins for gliding that were localized at the base of the protrusion of flask-shaped M. mobile account for more than 12% of all surface proteins and that Mvsps, surface variants that were localized at both parts other than the neck, account for 49% of all surface proteins.
