An unusual arrangement of pur and lpx genes in the photosynthetic purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The nucleotide sequence of a 1634 bp DNA fragment from the photosynthetic purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum contains one complete and two partial open reading frames. Sequence comparisons to genes from other organisms suggest that this A. vinosum DNA fragment contains, starting from the 5' end, the following: (1) 234 bp at the 3' end of the A. vinosum purH gene, coding for 78 amino acids at the C-terminus of the bi-functional 5'-phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide formyltransferase/IMP cyclohydrolase (EC 2.1.2.3), an enzyme involved in de novo purine biosynthesis; (2) 777 bp of the A. vinosum lpxA gene, coding for all 259 amino acids of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-O-acyltransferase, an enzyme involved in lipid A biosynthesis; and (3) 567 bp at the 5' end of the A. vinosum purD gene, coding for 189 amino acids at the N-terminus of 5'-phosphoribosyl glycinamide synthetase (EC 6.3.4.13), a second enzyme involved in de novo purine biosynthesis. The presence of a gene coding for an enzyme involved in lipid A biosynthesis between two genes coding for enzymes of the de novo purine biosynthesis pathway represents a unique arrangement of these genes.
