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

Bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferase toxins (bARTTs) transfer ADP-ribose to eukaryotic proteins to promote bacterial pathogenesis. In this Review, we use prototype bARTTs, such as diphtheria toxin and pertussis toxin, as references for the characterization of several new bARTTs from human, insect and plant pathogens, which were recently identified by bioinformatic analyses. Several of these toxins, including cholix toxin (ChxA) from Vibrio cholerae, SpyA from Streptococcus pyogenes, HopU1 from Pseudomonas syringae and the Tcc toxins from Photorhabdus luminescens, ADP-ribosylate novel substrates and have unique organizations, which distinguish them from the reference toxins. The characterization of these toxins increases our appreciation of the range of structural and functional properties that are possessed by bARTTs and their roles in bacterial pathogenesis.
