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

Phosphorylation of CheY promotes association with the flagellar motor and ultimately controls the directional bias of the motor. However, biochemical studies of activated CheY-phosphate have been challenging due to the rapid hydrolysis of the aspartyl-phosphate in vitro. An inert analog of Tm CheY-phosphate, phosphono-CheY, was synthesized by chemical modification and purified by cation-exchange chromatography. Changes in HPLC retention times, chemical assays for phosphate and free thiol, and mass spectrometry experiments demonstrate modification of Cys54 with a phosphonomethyl group. Additionally, a crystal structure showed electron density for the phosphonomethyl group at Cys54, consistent with a modification at that position. Subsequent biochemical experiments confirmed that protein crystals were phosphono-CheY. Isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorescence polarization binding assays demonstrated that phosphono-CheY bound a peptide derived from FliM, a native partner of CheY-phosphate, with a dissociation constant of ∼29 µM, at least sixfold more tightly than unmodified CheY. Taken together these results suggest that Tm phosphono-CheY is a useful and unique analog of Tm CheY-phosphate.
