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

A gene encoding a protein homologous to the periplasmic ABC phosphate binding receptor PstS from Escherichia coli was cloned and sequenced from a lambda gt11 library of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by screening with monoclonal antibody 2A1-2. Its degree of similarity to the E. coli PstS is comparable to those of the previously described M. tuberculosis phosphate binding protein pab (Ag78, Ag5, or 38-kDa protein) and another M. tuberculosis protein which we identified recently. We suggest that the three M. tuberculosis proteins share a similar function and could be named PstS-1, PstS-2, and PstS-3, respectively. Molecular modeling of their three-dimensional structures using the structure of the E. coli PstS as a template and their inducibility by phosphate starvation support this view. Recombinant PstS-2 and PstS-3 were produced and purified by affinity chromatography. With PstS-1, these proteins were used to demonstrate the specificity of three groups of monoclonal antibodies. Using these antibodies in flow cytometry and immunoblotting analyses, we demonstrate that the three genes are expressed and their protein products are present and accessible at the mycobacterial surface as well as in its culture filtrate. Together with the M. tuberculosis genes encoding homologs of the PstA, PstB, and PstC components we cloned before, the present data suggest that at least one, and possibly several, related and functional ABC phosphate transporters exist in mycobacteria. It is hypothesized that the mycobacterial gene duplications presented here may be a subtle adaptation of intracellular pathogens to phosphate starvation in their alternating growth environments.
