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

Colicin V (ColV) is peptide antibiotic secreted by Escherichia coli through a dedicated exporter composed of three proteins, CvaA, CvaB, and TolC. ColV secretion is independent of the E. coli general secretory pathway (Sec) but requires an N-terminal export signal specific for the CvaAB/TolC exporter. ColV secretion was characterized using genetic and biochemical methods. When the ColV N-terminal extension is replaced with the OmpA signal sequence, the Sec system can localize ColV to the periplasm. Periplasmic ColV is lethal to cells lacking the ColV immunity protein, Cvi. Based on this result, a genetic assay was designed to monitor for the presence of periplasmic ColV during normal CvaAB/TolC mediated secretion. Results indicate that low levels of ColV may be present in the periplasm during secretion. Precursor and mature ColV were also characterized from the wild-type system and in various exporter mutant backgrounds using immunoprecipitation. ColV processing is rapid in wild-type cells, and CvaA and CvaB are critical for processing to occur. In contrast, processing occurs normally, albeit more slowly, in a TolC mutant.
