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

Selenoprotein K (SELENOK) and Selenoprotein S (SELENOS) are the members of the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) complex, which is responsible for translocating misfolded proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytosol for degradation. Besides its involvement in the ERAD, SELENOK was shown to bind and stabilize the palmitoyl transferase DHHC6, and thus contributes to palmitoylation. SELENOK and SELENOS reside in the ER membrane by the way of a single transmembrane helix. Both contain an intrinsically disordered region with a selenocysteine (Sec) located one or two residues away from the C-terminus. Here, we describe the preparation of the Sec-containing forms of SELENOS and SELENOK. SELENOK, which contains no native cysteines, was prepared in an E. coli cysteine auxotroph strain by exploiting the codon and the insertion machinery of Cys for the incorporation of Sec. In contrast, the preparation of SELENOS, which contains functionally important cysteine residues, relied on E. coli's native Sec incorporation mechanism.
