Advances in understanding Ton and Tol system motor proteins.
Review in Biochemical Society transactions, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
The Ton and Tol-Pal systems are molecular machines that are essential for survival of Gram-negative bacteria.Both use the energy derived from the proton gradient at the inner membrane to generate force on protein components at the outer membrane. Ton and Tol share extensive homology, but they fulfill different functions: Ton is involved in the active transport of essential nutrients from the extracellular media into the cell, while Tol maintains the outer membrane integrity and participates in the cell division process. Despite decades of biochemical and biophysical studies, the molecular mechanism coupling the proton gradient at the inner membrane with the propagation of force and movement to the outer membrane is not understood. In this review, we discuss the recent high-resolution structures obtained for both systems, and how these structures fit with existing mechanistic models.
