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

The antifeeding prophage (Afp) produced by the bacterium Serratia entomophila is the archetypical external contractile injection system (eCIS). Afp and its orthologues are characterized by three sheath proteins, while contractile bacteriophages and pyocins encode only one. Using targeted mutagenesis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and pulldown studies, we interrogated the roles of the three sheath proteins (Afp2, Afp3, and Afp4) in Afp assembly, in particular the interaction between the two sequence-related helical-sheath-forming proteins Afp2 and Afp3 and their cross talk with the tail termination sheath capping protein (TrP) Afp16 in the sheath maturation process. The expressed assemblies for the
