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 flagella are the best-known rotational organelles in the biological world. The spiral-shaped flagellar filaments that extend from the cell surface rotate like a screw to create a propulsive force. At the base of the flagellar filament lies a protein motor that consists of a stator and a rotor embedded in the membrane. The stator is composed of two types of membrane subunits, PomA (similar to MotA in Escherichia coli) and PomB (similar to MotB in E. coli), which are energy converters that assemble around the rotor to couple rotation with the ion flow. Recently, stator structures, where two MotB molecules are inserted into the center of a ring made of five MotA molecules, were reported. This structure inspired a model in which the MotA ring rotates around the MotB dimer in response to ion influx. Here, we focus on the
