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

FliL is present in nearly all flagellated bacterial species and is associated with the flagellar basal body. This protein was found to be important for the function of the flagellar motor, and its absence led to a variety of motility defects in several species. However, the specific function of FliL in Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains elusive. Here, we studied the effects of FliL on motor output in P. aeruginosa using a bead assay, finding that FliL regulates motor output through its differential effects on the two sets of homologous MotAB and MotCD stators. FliL interacts with the MotCD stators to increase the motor torque and the stability of the motor speed, whereas it works with the MotAB stators to maintain a high motor switching rate. These effects of FliL contribute to enhancing P. aeruginosa's motility and chemotaxis.
