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

Lactobacillus sakei is a lactic acid bacterium belonging to the natural flora of meat products. It constitutes the main flora of vacuum-packed meat and is largely used in western Europe as a starter for the manufacturing of fermented sausages. This species is able to grow both under aerobiosis and anaerobiosis. In many technological processes involving it, oxygen is scarce. The aim of this study was to identify the major proteins affected by growth under anaerobiosis. Using two-dimensional electrophoresis, we showed that one spot was 10-fold overexpressed when cells were grown under anaerobiosis. By N-terminal sequencing it was identified as a peptidase (PepR), and the pepR gene was cloned. Northern analysis revealed that pepR was expressed as a single 1.27-kb transcript induced under anaerobiosis. A mutant was constructed by single crossover in the pepR gene, and its growth and survival were not affected by anaerobiosis.
