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

The bacterial flagellar type III secretion system (fT3SS) exports structural subunits required for flagellar assembly by coupling protein translocation to ion motive force across the cytoplasmic membrane. Efficient activation of the transmembrane export gate depends on a cytoplasmic ATPase complex composed of FliH, FliI, and FliJ, which are also involved in substrate delivery. However, how these proteins mechanistically integrate substrate delivery with gate activation remains unclear. Here, we uncoupled these two functions by cross-complementation analyses using ATPase components from the Na
