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

Escherichia coli strains bearing single-copy fusions between the lacZ reporter gene and the cspA, ibp, or P3rpoH stress promoters offer a simple means to detect sublethal concentrations of antibacterial agents interfering with prokaryotic translation or cell envelope integrity while simultaneously providing information on the mechanism of action of the test compound (A. A. Bianchi and F. Baneyx, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 65:5023-5027, 1999). Here, we expand the usefulness of this system by (i) demonstrating that a fusion between the SOS-inducible sulA promoter and lacZ is a highly specific probe for the detection of antimicrobial agents that ultimately interfere with DNA replication, (ii) showing that inactivation of the tolC gene allows efficient detection of very low concentrations of model antibiotics (including aminoglycosides) whereas polymyxin B-mediated outer membrane permeabilization facilitates the identification of intermediate concentrations of hydrophobic compounds, and (iii) validating the potential of detector strains and sensitization strategies for high-throughput screening using a reproducible and internally consistent 96-well microplate assay.
