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

In Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, gmk encodes guanylate kinase, an essential enzyme involved in the synthesis and salvage of guanine nucleotides. Here we report the isolation of a mutation in gmk that results in a nutritional requirement for adenine at low temperature. Comparisons of kinetic parameters from the wild-type and mutant Gmk enzymes revealed that the mutant enzyme had a more than 20-fold-higher Km for ATP than the wild-type enzyme. The growth dependence of the mutant on temperature and/or adenine could not be explained as a direct result of this kinetic difference. We propose a model in which previously described regulatory effects of GMP are responsible for these phenotypes.
