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

Three molecular foldases, DsbA, DsbC, and rotamase (ppiA), exhibited the unusual property of accumulating in an osmotically sensitive cellular compartment of Escherichia coli when their signal sequences were precisely removed by mutation. A mammalian protein, interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, behaved in a similar fashion in E. coli when its native signal sequence was deleted. These leaderless mutants (but not two control proteins overexpressed in the same system) were quantitatively extractable from whole cells by a variety of methods generally employed in the recovery of periplasmic proteins. A series of biochemical and genetic experiments showed that (i) leaderless DsbA (but not the wild type) was retained in a nonperiplasmic location; (ii) beta-galactosidase fusions to leaderless DsbA (but not to the wild type) exhibited efficient alpha complementation; (iii) none of the leaderless mutant proteins were substantially associated with cell membranes, even when they were overexpressed in cells; and (iv) leaderless DsbA was not transported to an osmotically sensitive compartment via a secA- or ftsZ-dependent mechanism. The observation that these proteins transit to some privileged cellular location by a previously undescribed mechanism(s)--absent their normal mode of (signal sequence-dependent) translocation--was unexpected. DsbA, rotamase, and IL-1, whose tertiary structures are known, appear to be structurally unrelated proteins. Despite a lack of obvious homologies, these proteins apparently have a common mechanism for intracellular localization. As this (putative) bacterial mechanism efficiently recognizes proteins of mammalian origin, it must be well conserved across evolutionary boundaries.
