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

Previously, it was reported that the oxidative capacity and ability to grow on carbon sources such as pyruvate and glucose were severely diminished in the Rhizobium etli phaC::OmegaSm(r)/Sp(r) mutant CAR1, which is unable to synthesize poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) (M. A. Cevallos, S. Encarnación, A. Leija, Y. Mora, and J. Mora, J. Bacteriol. 178:1646-1654, 1996). By random Tn5 mutagenesis of the phaC strain, we isolated the mutants VEM57 and VEM58, both of which contained single Tn5 insertions and had recovered the ability to grow on pyruvate or glucose. Nucleotide sequencing of the region surrounding the Tn5 insertions showed that they had interrupted an open reading frame designated aniA based on its high deduced amino acid sequence identity to the aniA gene product of Sinorhizobium meliloti. R. etli aniA was located adjacent to and divergently transcribed from genes encoding the PHB biosynthetic enzymes beta-ketothiolase (PhaA) and acetoacetyl coenzyme A reductase (PhaB). An aniA::Tn5 mutant (VEM5854) was constructed and found to synthesize only 40% of the wild type level of PHB. Both VEM58 and VEM5854 produced significantly more extracellular polysaccharide than the wild type. Organic acid excretion and levels of intracellular reduced nucleotides were lowered to wild-type levels in VEM58 and VEM5854, in contrast to those of strain CAR1, which were significantly elevated. Proteome analysis of VEM58 showed a drastic alteration of protein expression, including the absence of a protein identified as PhaB. We propose that the aniA gene product plays an important role in directing carbon flow in R. etli.
