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

unlabelledMycobacteriophages are viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts and are prevalent in the environment. Nearly 700 mycobacteriophage genomes have been completely sequenced, revealing considerable diversity and genetic novelty. Here, we have determined the protein complement of mycobacteriophage Giles by mass spectrometry and mapped its genome-wide protein interactome to help elucidate the roles of its 77 predicted proteins, 50% of which have no known function. About 22,000 individual yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) tests with four different Y2H vectors, followed by filtering and retest screens, resulted in 324 reproducible protein-protein interactions, including 171 (136 nonredundant) high-confidence interactions. The complete set of high-confidence interactions among Giles proteins reveals new mechanistic details and predicts functions for unknown proteins. The Giles interactome is the first for any mycobacteriophage and one of just five known phage interactomes so far. Our results will help in understanding mycobacteriophage biology and aid in development of new genetic and therapeutic tools to understand Mycobacterium tuberculosis. IMPORTANCE: Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes over 9 million new cases of tuberculosis each year. Mycobacteriophages, viruses of mycobacterial hosts, hold considerable potential to understand phage diversity, evolution, and mycobacterial biology, aiding in the development of therapeutic tools to control mycobacterial infections. The mycobacteriophage Giles protein-protein interaction network allows us to predict functions for unknown proteins and shed light on major biological processes in phage biology. For example, Giles gp76, a protein of unknown function, is found to associate with phage packaging and maturation. The functions of mycobacteriophage-derived proteins may suggest novel therapeutic approaches for tuberculosis. Our ORFeome clone set of Giles proteins and the interactome data will be useful resources for phage interactomics.
