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

Flagella-driven motility is essential for Helicobacter pylori to colonize the human stomach, where it causes a variety of diseases, including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. H. pylori has evolved a high-torque-generating flagellar motor that possesses several accessories not found in the archetypical Escherichia coli motor. FlgV was one of the first flagellar accessory proteins identified in Campylobacter jejuni, but its structure and function remain poorly understood. Here, we confirm that deletion of flgV in H. pylori B128 and a highly motile variant of H. pylori G27 (G27M) results in reduced motility in soft agar medium. Comparative analyses of in-situ flagellar motor structures of wild-type, ΔflgV, and a strain expressing FlgV-YFP showed that FlgV forms a ring-like structure closely associated with the junction of two highly conserved flagellar components: the MS and C rings. The results of our studies suggest that the FlgV ring has adapted specifically in Campylobacterota to support the assembly and efficient function of the high-torque-generating motors.
