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 prokaryotic obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis is the most prevalent cause of preventable blindness, affecting approximately six million people worldwide. In addition, C. trachomatis is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted pathogen in Europe and the US, causing pelvic inflammation, ectopic pregnancy and infertility. As in other intracellular pathogens, proteases play crucial roles during most stages of the complex life cycle of Chlamydia. CT441 is a chlamydial protease that has been reported to interfere with oestrogen signalling of the host cell. Here, the recombinant production, purification and crystallization of an inactive variant of CT441, designated CT441° (active-site Ser455 replaced by Ala), are described. CT441° was crystallized in space group P22121, with unit-cell parameters a = 86.7, b = 184.0, c = 209.6 Å. A complete diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 2.95 Å.
