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 Agrobacterium tumefaciens VirB proteins are postulated to form a transport pore for the transfer of T-DNA. Formation of the transport pore will involve interactions among the VirB proteins. A powerful genetic method to study protein-protein interaction is the yeast two-hybrid assay. To test whether this method can be used to study interactions among the VirB membrane proteins, we studied the interaction of VirB7 and VirB9 in yeast. We recently demonstrated that VirB7 and VirB9 form a protein complex linked by a disulfide bond between cysteine 24 of VirB7 and cysteine 262 of VirB9 (L. Anderson, A. Hertzel, and A. Das, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:8889-8894, 1996). We now demonstrate that VirB7 and VirB9 interact in yeast, and this interaction does not require the cysteine residues essential for the disulfide linkage. By using defined segments in fusion constructions, we mapped the VirB7 interaction domain of VirB9 to residues 173 to 275. In tumor formation assays, both virB7C24S and virB9C262S expressed from a multicopy plasmid complemented the respective deletion mutation, indicating that the cysteine residues may not be essential for DNA transfer.
