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

We have identified and characterized the protease-resistant SecA fragments (X. Chen, H. Xu, and P. C. Tai, J. Biol. Chem. 271:29698-29706, 1996) through immunodetection with region-specific antibodies, chemical extraction, and sequencing analysis. The 66-, 36-, and 27-kDa proteolytic fragments in the membranes all start at Met1, whereas the 48-kDa fragment starts at Glu361. The overlapping of the sequences of the 66- and 48-kDa fragments indicates that they are derived from different SecA molecules. These two fragments were generated differently in response to ATP hydrolysis and protein translocation. Furthermore, the presence of membrane is required for the generation of the 48-kDa fragment but not for that of the 66-kDa fragment. These data suggest that there are two different integral forms of SecA in the membrane: SecA(S) and SecA(M). The combination of these two forms of SecA has several membrane-interacting domains. Both forms of SecA are integrated in the membrane, since both the 48- and 66-kDa fragments could be derived from urea- or Na2CO3-washed membranes. Moreover, all fragments are resistant to extraction with a high concentration of salt or with heparin, but the membrane-specific 48-kDa SecA domain is more sensitive to Na2CO3 or urea extraction. This suggests that this domain may interact with other membrane proteins in an aqueous microenvironment and therefore may form a part of the protein-conducting channel.
