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

Eubacterial transducers are transmembrane, methyl-accepting proteins central to chemotaxis systems and share common structural features. We identified a large family of transducer proteins in the Archaeon Halobacterium salinarium using a site-specific multiple antigenic peptide antibody raised against 23 amino acids, representing the highest homology region of eubacterial transducers. This immunological observation was confirmed by isolating 13 methyl-accepting taxis genes using a 27-mer oligonucleotide probe, corresponding to conserved regions between the eubacterial and first halobacterial phototaxis transducer gene htrI. On the basis of the comparison of the predicted structural domains of these transducers, we propose that at least three distinct subfamilies of transducers exist in the Archaeon H. salinarium: (i) a eubacterial chemotaxis transducer type with two hydrophobic membrane-spanning segments connecting sizable domains in the periplasm and cytoplasm; (ii) a cytoplasmic domain and two or more hydrophobic transmembrane segments without periplasmic domains; and (iii) a cytoplasmic domain without hydrophobic transmembrane segments. We fractionated the halobacterial cell lysate into soluble and membrane fractions and localized different halobacterial methyl-accepting taxis proteins in both fractions.
