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 "stator stalk" of F1Fo-ATP synthase is essential for rotational catalysis as it connects the nonrotating portions of the enzyme. In Escherichia coli, the stator stalk consists of two (identical) b subunits and the δ subunit. In mycobacteria, one of the b subunits and the δ subunit are replaced by a b/δ fusion protein; the remaining b subunit is of the shorter b' type. In the present study, it is shown that it is possible to generate a functional E. coli ATP synthase containing a b/δ fusion protein. This construct allowed the analysis of the roles of the individual b subunits. The full-length b subunit (which in this case is covalently linked to δ in the fusion protein) is responsible for connecting the stalk to the catalytic F1 subcomplex. It is not required for interaction with the membrane-embedded Fo subcomplex, as its transmembrane helix can be removed. Attachment to Fo is the function of the other b subunit which in turn has only a minor (if any at all) role in binding to δ. Also in E. coli the second b subunit can be shortened to a b' type.
