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 secretion of proteins from the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli requires the interaction of two integral inner membrane components, SecY and SecE. We have devised a genetic approach to probe the molecular nature of the SecY-SecE interaction. Suppressor alleles of secY and secE, termed prlA and prlG, respectively, were analyzed in pair-wise combinations for synthetic phenotypes. From a total of 115 combinations, we found only seven pairs of alleles that exhibit a synthetic defect when present in combination with one another. The phenotypes observed are not the result of additive defects caused by the prl alleles, nor are they the consequence of multiple suppressors functioning within the same strain. In all cases, the synthetic defect is recessive to wild-type secY or secE provided in trans. The recessive nature argues for a defective interaction between the Prl suppressors. The extreme allele specificity and topological coincidence of the mutations represented by these seven pairs of alleles identify domains of interaction between SecY/PrlA and SecE/PrlG.
