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

Mycoplasma mobile, a fish pathogen, exhibits its own specialized gliding motility on host cells based on ATP hydrolysis. The special protein machinery enabling this motility is composed of surface and internal protein complexes. Four proteins, MMOBs 1630, 1660, 1670, and 4860 constitute the internal complex, including paralogs of F-type ATPase/synthase α and β subunits. In the present study, the cellular localisation for the candidate gliding machinery proteins, MMOBs 1620, 1640, 1650, and 5430 was investigated by using a total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy system after tagging these proteins with the enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP). The M. mobile strain expressing a fusion protein MMOB1620-EYFP exhibited reduced cell-binding activity and a strain expressing MMOB1640 fused with EYFP exhibited increased gliding speed, showing the involvement of these proteins in the gliding mechanism. Based on the genomic sequences, we analysed the sequence conservativity in the proteins of the internal and the surface complexes from four gliding mycoplasma species. The proteins in the internal complex were more conserved compared to the surface complex, suggesting that the surface complex undergoes modifications depending on the host. The analyses suggested that the internal gliding complex was highly conserved probably due to its role in the motility mechanism.
