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

Several flagellar genes in Helicobacter pylori are dependent on sigma(54) (RpoN) for their expression. These genes encode components of the basal body, the hook protein, and a minor flagellin, FlaB. A protein-protein interaction map for H. pylori constructed from a high-throughput screen of a yeast two-hybrid assay (http://pim.hybrigenics.com/pimriderext/common/) revealed interactions between sigma(54) and the conserved hypothetical protein HP0958. To see if HP0958 influences sigma(54) function, the corresponding gene was disrupted with a kanamycin resistance gene (aphA3) in H. pylori ATCC 43504 and the resulting mutant was analyzed. The hp0958:aphA3 mutant was nonmotile and failed to produce flagella. Introduction of a functional copy of hp0958 into the genome of the hp0958:aphA3 mutant restored flagellar biogenesis and motility. The hp0958:aphA3 mutant was deficient in expressing two sigma(54)-dependent reporter genes, flaB'-'xylE and hp1120'-'xylE. Levels of sigma(54) in the hp0958 mutant were substantially lower than those in the parental strain, suggesting that the failure of the mutant to express the genes in the RpoN regulon and produce flagella was due to reduced sigma(54) levels. Expressing sigma(54) at high levels by putting rpoN under the control of the ureA promoter restored flagellar biogenesis and motility in the hp0958:aphA3 mutant. Turnover of sigma(54) was more rapid in the hp0958:aphA3 mutant than it was in the wild-type strain, suggesting that HP0958 supports wild-type sigma(54) levels in H. pylori by protecting it from proteolysis.
