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

Various mutations in the tolQRAB gene cluster of Escherichia coli render the bacteria tolerant to high concentrations of the E, A, or K colicins as well as tolerant to infection by the single-stranded filamentous bacteriophage. The nucleotide sequence of a 2.8-kilobase fragment containing the tolA and tolB genes was determined. This sequence predicts TolA to be a 421-amino-acid protein of molecular mass 44,190 daltons. Studies using minicells show it to be associated with the inner membrane, presumably via a 21-amino-acid hydrophobic sequence between residues 13 and 35. The remaining 387 residues on the carboxyl side of this region are located in the periplasm. Within this region of TolA is a 230-residue portion that is predicted to form a very long helical segment. This region is rich in alanine, lysine, and glutamic and aspartic acids. The TolB protein is predicted to contain 431 amino acids. Localization studies using minicells show two proteins encoded by this open reading frame. The larger protein of 47.5 kilodaltons appears to be associated with the membrane fractions. The smaller protein is 43 kilodaltons in size and is found with the periplasmic components of the cell.
