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

Bacterial secretory proteins are translocated post-translationally by the SecA ATPase through the protein-conducting SecY channel in the plasma membrane. During the ATP hydrolysis cycle, SecA undergoes large conformational changes of its two-helix finger and clamp domains, but how these changes result in polypeptide movement is unclear. Here, we use a reconstituted purified system and protease protection assays to show that ATP binding to SecA results in a segment of the translocation substrate being pushed into the channel. This motion is prevented by mutation of conserved residues at the finger's tip. Mutation of SecA's clamp causes backsliding of the substrate in the ATP-bound state. Together, these data support a power stroke model of translocation in which, upon ATP binding, the two-helix finger pushes the substrate into the channel, where it is held by the clamp until nucleotide hydrolysis has occurred.
