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 PheP protein is a high-affinity phenylalanine-specific permease of the bacterium Escherichia coli. A topological model based on genetic analysis involving the construction of protein fusions with alkaline phosphatase has previously been proposed in which PheP has 12 transmembrane segments with both N and C termini located in the cytoplasm (J. Pi and A. J. Pittard, J. Bacteriol. 178:2650-2655, 1996). Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to investigate the functional importance of each of the 16 proline residues of the PheP protein. Replacement of alanine at only three positions, P54, P341, and P442, resulted in the loss of 50% or more activity. Substitutions at P341 had the most dramatic effects. None of these changes in transport activity were, however, associated with any defect of the mutant protein in inserting into the membrane, as indicated by [35S]methionine labelling and immunoprecipitation using anti-PheP serum. A possible role for each of these three prolines is discussed. Inserting a single alanine residue at different sites within span IX and the loop immediately preceding it also had major effects on transport activity, suggesting an important role for a highly organized structure in this region of the protein.
