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 secrete protein effectors to hijack host machinery and remodel their infectious niche. Rickettsia spp. are obligate intracellular bacteria that can cause life-threatening disease, but their absolute dependence on the host cell has impeded discovery of rickettsial effectors and their host targets. We implemented bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) during R. parkeri infection to selectively label, isolate, and identify effectors delivered into the host cell. As the first use of BONCAT in an obligate intracellular bacterium, our screen more than doubles the number of experimentally validated effectors for the genus. The seven novel secreted rickettsial factors (Srfs) we identified include Rickettsia-specific proteins of unknown function that localize to the host cytoplasm, mitochondria, and ER. We further show that one such effector, SrfD, interacts with the host Sec61 translocon. Altogether, our work uncovers a diverse set of previously uncharacterized rickettsial effectors and lays the foundation for a deeper exploration of the host-pathogen interface.
