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

The seven nap genes at minute 47 on the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome encode a functional nitrate reductase located in the periplasm. The molybdoprotein, NapA, is known to be essential for nitrate reduction. We now demonstrate that the two c-type cytochromes, the periplasmic NapB and the membrane-associated NapC, as well as a fourth polypeptide, NapD, are also essential for nitrate reduction in the periplasm by physiological substrates such as glycerol, formate and glucose. None of the three iron-sulphur proteins, NapF, NapG or NapH, are essential, irrespective of whether the bacteria are grown anaerobically in the presence of nitrate or fumarate as a terminal electron acceptor, or by glucose fermentation. Mutation of napD resulted in the total loss of Methyl Viologen-dependent nitrate reductase activity of the molybdoprotein, NapA, consistent with an earlier suggestion by others that NapD might be required for post-translational modification of NapA.
