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

We describe the identification of Rex, a novel redox-sensing repressor that appears to be widespread among Gram-positive bacteria. In Streptomyces coelicolor Rex binds to operator (ROP) sites located upstream of several respiratory genes, including the cydABCD and rex-hemACD operons. The DNA-binding activity of Rex appears to be controlled by the redox poise of the NADH/NAD+ pool. Using electromobility shift and surface plasmon resonance assays we show that NADH, but not NAD+, inhibits the DNA-binding activity of Rex. However, NAD+ competes with NADH for Rex binding, allowing Rex to sense redox poise over a range of NAD(H) concentrations. Rex is predicted to include a pyridine nucleotide-binding domain (Rossmann fold), and residues that might play key structural and nucleotide binding roles are highly conserved. In support of this, the central glycine in the signature motif (GlyXGlyXXGly) is shown to be essential for redox sensing. Rex homologues exist in most Gram-positive bacteria, including human pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
