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

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis is a powerful strategy to understand M. tuberculosis (Mtb) system level physiology in the identification of hub proteins. In the present study, the PPI network of 79 Mtb toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems comprising of 167 nodes and 234 edges was investigated. The topological properties of PPI network were examined by 'Network analyzer' a cytoscape plugin app and STRING database. The key enriched biological processes and the molecular functions of Mtb TA systems were analyzed by STRING. Manual curation of the PPI data identified four proteins (i.e. Rv2762c, VapB14, VapB42 and VapC42) to possess the highest number of interacting partners. The top 15% hub proteins were identified in the PPI network by employing two statistical measures, i.e. betweenness and radiality by employing cytohubba. Insights gained from the molecular protein models of VapC9 and VapC10 are also documented.
