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

Salmonella reduces flagella biogenesis to avoid detection within host cells by a largely unknown mechanism. We identified an EAL-like protein STM1697 as required and sufficient for this process. STM1697 surges to a high level after Salmonella enters host cells and restrains the expression of flagellar genes by regulating the function of flagellar switch protein FlhD4C2, the transcription activator of all other flagellar genes. Unlike other anti-FlhD4C2 factors, STM1697 does not prevent FlhD4C2 from binding to target DNA. A 2.0 Å resolution STM1697-FlhD structure reveals that STM1697 binds the same region of FlhD as STM1344, but with weaker affinity. Further experiments show that STM1697 regulates flagella biogenesis by restricting FlhD4C2 from recruiting RNA polymerase and the regulatory effect of STM1697 on flagellar biogenesis and virulence are all achieved by interaction with FlhD. Finally, we describe a novel mechanism mediated by STM1697 in which Salmonella can inhibit the production of flagella antigen and escape from the host immune system.
