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

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains are able to signal host cells, cause dramatic cytoskeletal rearrangements, and adhere intimately to the cell surface in a process known as the attaching and effacing effect. A pathogenicity island of 35 kb known as the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) is necessary and sufficient for this effect. The LEE encodes an outer membrane adhesin called intimin, a type III secretion apparatus, and the EspA and EspB secreted proteins. The DNA sequence of the region between espA and espB revealed a new gene, espD. The product of espD was demonstrated by using a T7 expression system. We constructed a nonpolar mutation in espD and found that the mutant is incapable of the signal transduction events that lead to activation of the putative intimin receptor in host cells and that the mutant fails to induce the attaching and effacing effect. These phenotypes were restored to the mutant by complementation with a plasmid containing the cloned espD locus. We demonstrated by immunoblotting and microsequencing that the EspD protein is secreted via the type III apparatus. Thus, we describe a novel locus encoding a secreted protein that is required for attaching and effacing activity.
