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

A protein serine/threonine kinase, AfsK, and its target protein AfsR globally control physiological and morphological differentiation in the bacterial genus Streptomyces. A protein (KbpA) of 252 amino acids encoded by an open reading frame in a region upstream of afsK in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was identified as an AfsK-interacting protein. The interaction site of AfsK was in the N-terminal portion containing the kinase catalytic domain. KbpA bound a nonphosphorylated form of AfsK and inhibited its autophosphorylation at serine and threonine residues. KbpA in the reaction mixture containing AfsK and AfsR also inhibited the phosphorylation of AfsR by AfsK, presumably because KbpA inhibited the conversion from the inactive, nonphosphorylated form of AfsK to the active, phosphorylated form. kbpA was transcribed throughout growth, and the transcription was enhanced when production of actinorhodin had already started. KbpA thus appeared to play an inhibitory role in a negative feedback system in the AfsK-AfsR regulatory pathway. Consistent with these in vitro observations, kbpA served as a repressor for actinorhodin production in S. coelicolor A3(2); disruption of kbpA greatly enhanced actinorhodin production, and overexpression of kbpA reduced the production.
