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

Pneumococcal cell surface-exposed choline-binding proteins (CBPs) play pivotal roles in multiple infectious processes with pneumococci. Intracellular pneumococci can be recognized at multiple steps during bactericidal autophagy. However, whether CBPs are involved in pneumococci-induced autophagic processes remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that CbpC from S. pneumoniae strain TIGR4 activates autophagy through an interaction with Atg14. However, S. pneumoniae also interferes with autophagy by deploying CbpC as a decoy to cause autophagic degradation of Atg14 through an interaction with p62/SQSTM1. Thus, S. pneumoniae suppresses the autophagic degradation of intracellular pneumococci and survives within cells. Domain analysis reveals that the coiled-coil domain of Atg14 and residue Y83 of the dp3 domain in the N-terminal region of CbpC are crucial for both the CbpC-Atg14 interaction and the subsequent autophagic degradation of Atg14. Although homology modeling indicates that CbpC orthologs have similar structures in the dp3 domain, autophagy induction through Atg14 binding is an intrinsic property of CbpC
