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

Pathogenic bacteria have acquired a vast array of eukaryotic-protein-like proteins via intimate interaction with host cells. Bacterial effector proteins that function as ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases (DUBs) are remarkable examples of such molecular mimicry. LotA, a Legionella pneumophila effector, belongs to the ovarian tumor (OTU) superfamily, which regulates diverse ubiquitin signals by their DUB activities. LotA harbors two OTU domains that have distinct reactivities; the first one is responsible for the cleavage of the K6-linked ubiquitin chain, and the second one shows an uncommon preference for long chains of ubiquitin. Here, we report the crystal structure of a middle domain of LotA (LotA
