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

paaR2-paaA2-parE2 is a three-component toxin-antitoxin module found in prophage CP-993P of Escherichia coli O157:H7. Transcription regulation of this module occurs via the 123-amino-acid regulator PaaR2, which forms a large oligomeric structure. Despite appearing to be well folded, PaaR2 withstands crystallization, as does its N-terminal DNA-binding domain. Native mass spectrometry was used to screen for nanobodies that form a unique complex and stabilize the octameric structure of PaaR2. One such nanobody, Nb33, allowed crystallization of the protein. The resulting crystals belong to space group F432, with unit-cell parameter a = 317 Å, diffract to 4.0 Å resolution and are likely to contain four PaaR2 monomers and four nanobody monomers in the asymmetric unit. Crystals of two truncates containing the N-terminal helix-turn-helix domain also interact with Nb33, and the corresponding co-crystals diffracted to 1.6 and 1.75 Å resolution.
