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

Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) is a potent mitogen that also affects bone resorption. PMT acts intracellularly and is therefore postulated to have several domains involved in different aspects of its function. The toxin contains eight cysteine residues. Mutants with individual substitutions for each of these residues were constructed, and the effects of these on the biological activity of the toxin were determined by cultured-cell assays. Only the most C-terminal of the eight cysteines (C1165) was essential for full activity, although mutation of the cysteine residue at position 1159 caused a slight but reproducible loss of potency. In animal challenge experiments, mutant toxin (C1165S) was not toxic to piglets, even at doses exceeding a lethal dose of active PMT 1, 000-fold. The mutant and wild-type toxins displayed identical purification characteristics, similar susceptibility to proteolytic digestion, and circular dichroism profiles, which indicated that no gross structural changes had taken place. The function of the essential C1165 residue is not yet known, although its most likely role is an enzymatic one at or near the catalytic center of the toxin.
