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

Mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (Mmpl3) as a trehalose monomycolate lipid transporter contributes to cell wall biosynthesis. Inhibition of Mmpl3 can suppress cell growth and lead to mycobacterial death. SQ109 is a hydrophobic inhibitor of Mmpl3. We have devised a detergent-free strategy to characterize the SQ109/Mmpl3 interaction using the Native Cell Membrane Nanoparticles (NCMN) system, a new method for extracting membrane proteins that better retains native lipids. The homogeneity of the Mmpl3 NCMN particles was confirmed with electron microscopy. The hydrophobic protein-ligand interaction analysis shown for Mmpl3 using the NCMN system may broadly apply to other membrane proteins.
