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

Cell-wall-anchored surface proteins are integral components of gram-positive bacterial cell envelopes. The trafficking of many surface proteins carrying a YSIRK/G-S signal peptide is synchronized with cell envelope biogenesis during cell division, whereby YSIRK proteins traffic to the septal membrane and anchor to the septal peptidoglycan (cross-wall). Previous work demonstrated that LtaS-mediated lipoteichoic acid (LTA) synthesis restricts YSIRK proteins' septal trafficking. Here, we did a comprehensive immunofluorescence microscopy screen of the entire IMPORTANCE: Surface proteins of gram-positive bacteria are key virulence factors in the human pathogen
