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

Flagellin constitutes the whip-like structure of the bacterial flagellum that is required for locomotion. Upon bacterial invasion into a host, flagellin functions as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern that is recognized by immune receptors, such as Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) and NAIP5/NLRC4, and activates host innate immunity against pathogens. Structural and biophysical studies of flagellins have been limited to those of Salmonella species. To better understand the functions of flagellin, it is necessary to study flagellins from other species. In this study, the overexpression, purification and crystallization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa flagellin that lacks the D0 domain (paflagellin-ΔD0) are reported. paflagellin-ΔD0 crystals diffracted to 2.15 Å resolution and belonged to space group C2, with one protein molecule in the asymmetric unit. Future structure-based functional studies of paflagellin would extend the knowledge of the TLR5 or NAIP5/NLRC4 activation mechanisms of flagellin and would make a significant contribution to the design of flagellin vaccines and antiradiation therapeutics.
