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 conserved general secretion (Sec) pathway carries out most protein export in bacteria and is powered by the essential ATPase SecA. Interestingly, mycobacteria and some Gram-positive bacteria possess two SecA proteins: SecA1 and SecA2. In these species, SecA1 is responsible for exporting most proteins, whereas SecA2 exports only a subset of substrates and is implicated in virulence. However, despite the impressive body of knowledge about the canonical SecA1, less is known concerning SecA2 function. Here, we review our current understanding of the different types of SecA2 systems and outline future directions for their study.
