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

Chlamydia subverts host cell pathways by secreting effector proteins into the membrane of its inclusion. These bacterial membrane proteins, called Incs, mediate interactions between the inclusion and the host cell. To study Inc protein dynamics in live cells, we have developed a methodology that relies on host cell expression of antibodies fused to fluorescent proteins, known as frankenbodies, which detect epitopes exposed to the cytosol. HeLa cells are first stably transfected with a plasmid encoding an mScarlet3-tagged anti-FLAG frankenbody. These cells are then infected with Chlamydia expressing a FLAG-tagged Inc protein, which is secreted into the inclusion membrane with the FLAG tag facing the cytosol. Recruitment of the fluorescent anti-FLAG frankenbody to the inclusion is monitored in real time using time-lapse confocal microscopy. This approach has been successfully employed to elucidate the dynamics of IncA on the inclusion membrane and can be expanded to simultaneously investigate multiple Incs, as well as Inc:Inc interactions, by using different tag-frankenbody combinations.
