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

Bam35, a temperate double-stranded DNA bacteriophage with a 15-kb linear genome, infects gram-positive Bacillus thuringiensis cells. Bam35 morphology and genome organization resemble those of PRD1, a lytic phage infecting gram-negative bacteria. Bam35 and PRD1 have an outer protein coat surrounding a membrane that encloses the viral DNA. We used electrochemical methods to investigate physiological changes of the lysogenic and nonlysogenic hosts during Bam35 DNA entry and host cell lysis. During viral DNA entry, there was an early temporal decrease of membrane voltage associated with K+ efflux that took place when either lysogenic or nonlysogenic hosts were infected. Approximately 40 min postinfection, a second strong K+ efflux was registered that was proposed to be associated with the insertion of holin molecules into the plasma membrane. This phenomenon occurred only when nonlysogenic cells were infected. Lysogenic hosts rarely were observed entering the lytic cycle as demonstrated by thin-section electron microscopy.
