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 postantibiotic effect (PAE) values found for proteinase-defective (Lon(-)) Escherichia coli and RNase-defective E. coli exposed to antibiotics were reduced (31 to 60% and 35 to 50%, respectively) in comparison with the control (AB1157), and in the recA13 mutant these values were about 0.4 h with all drugs. Nalidixic acid, under anaerobic conditions, induced no PAE (0 to 0.1 h) in AB1157. A delay in regrowth (0.2 to 0.26 h) was noted with dnaA46(Ts), gyrA43(Ts), and gyrB41(Ts) mutants cultured for 2 h at 43 degrees C. These findings suggest that when proteins and RNA are saved, the cell rapidly resumes the original growth rate.
