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

unlabelledGliding motility is common in members of the phylum Bacteroidetes, including Flavobacterium johnsoniae and Cellulophaga algicola. F. johnsoniae gliding has been extensively studied and involves rapid movement of the cell surface adhesin SprB. Genetic analysis of C. algicola allowed a comparative analysis of gliding. Sixty-three HimarEm1-induced mutants that formed nonspreading colonies were characterized. Each had an insertion in an ortholog of an F. johnsoniae motility gene, highlighting similarities between the motility systems. Differences were also observed. C. algicola lacks orthologs of the F. johnsoniae motility genes gldA, gldF, and gldG that are thought to encode the components of an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. In addition, mutations in any of 12 F. johnsoniae gld genes result in complete loss of motility, whereas all C. algicola gld mutants retained slight residual motility. This may indicate that C. algicola has multiple motility systems, that the motility proteins exhibit partial redundancy of function, or that essential components of the motility machinery of both C. algicola and F. johnsoniae remain to be discovered. IMPORTANCE: The development of genetic tools for C. algicola and comparative analysis of F. johnsoniae and C. algicola motility mutants identified similarities and differences between their gliding motility machineries. Gliding motility is common in the phylum Bacteroidetes Proteins that are important for gliding in both C. algicola and F. johnsoniae are potential core components of the Bacteroidetes gliding motility machinery.
