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

One of the central systems responsible for bacterial motility is the flagellum. The bacterial flagellum is a macromolecular protein complex that is more than five times the cell length. Flagella-driven motility is coordinated via a chemosensory signal transduction pathway, and so bacterial cells sense changes in the environment and migrate towards more desirable locations. The flagellum of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is composed of a bi-directional rotary motor, a universal joint and a helical propeller. The flagellar motor, which structurally resembles an artificial motor, is embedded within the cell envelop and spins at several hundred revolutions per second. In contrast to an artificial motor, the energy utilized for high-speed flagellar motor rotation is the inward-directed proton flow through a transmembrane proton channel of the stator unit of the flagellar motor. The flagellar motor realizes efficient chemotaxis while performing high-speed movement by an ingenious directional switching mechanism of the motor rotation. To build the universal joint and helical propeller structures outside the cell body, the flagellar motor contains its own protein transporter called a type III protein export apparatus. In this chapter we summarize the structure and assembly of the Salmonella flagellar motor complex.
