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

Bacteria use type III secretion injectisomes to inject effector proteins into eukaryotic target cells. Recruitment of effectors to the machinery and the resulting export hierarchy involve the sorting platform. These conserved proteins form pod structures at the cytosolic interface of the injectisome but are also mobile in the cytosol. Photoactivated localization microscopy in Yersinia enterocolitica revealed a direct interaction of the sorting platform proteins SctQ and SctL with effectors in the cytosol of live bacteria. These proteins form larger cytosolic protein complexes involving the ATPase SctN and the membrane connector SctK. The mobility and composition of these mobile pod structures are modulated in the presence of effectors and their chaperones, and upon initiation of secretion, which also increases the number of injectisomes from ~5 to ~18 per bacterium. Our quantitative data support an effector shuttling mechanism, in which sorting platform proteins bind to effectors in the cytosol and deliver the cargo to the export gate at the membrane-bound injectisome.
