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

S-layers are (glyco)protein coats displayed on the external surface of many bacterial and archaeal species. By combining X-ray crystallography, electron cryo-tomography and SymProFold predictions, we propose the structure of the self-assembled S-layer protein (SLP) SbsC from the Gram-positive bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 12980. SbsC consists of nine domains arranged like beads on a string. Domains 2 through 7 form a closed ring-like conformation, while the secondary cell wall polymer binding domain 1 and the auxiliary domains 8 and 9 protrude from the ring. Within the assembled lattice, the molecules adopt p1 symmetry and conform to the curvature of the bacterial surface, creating a sub-S-layer space, an enclosed space between the peptidoglycan layer and SLP lattice that may accommodate additional surface-associated proteins.
