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 ppk gene encodes polyphosphate kinase (Ppk), an enzyme that catalyses the polymerization of inorganic phosphate into long chains of polyphosphate (polyP). An insertion mutation in ppk causes a decrease in adaptive mutation in Escherichia coli strain FC40. Adaptive mutation in FC40 mostly results from error-prone DNA polymerase IV (Pol IV), encoded by dinB; most of the antimutagenic phenotype of the ppk mutant disappears in a dinB mutant strain. In addition, the ppk mutant causes a decrease in growth-dependent mutations produced by overexpressing Pol IV. However, the amount of Pol IV protein is unchanged in the ppk mutant strain, indicating that the activity or fidelity of Pol IV is altered. Adaptive mutation is inhibited both by the absence of Ppk, which results in low amounts of polyP, and by overproduction of Ppk, which results in high amounts of polyP, suggesting that an optimal level of polyP is necessary. Taken together, these results suggest a novel mechanism involving polyP that directly or indirectly regulates DNA polymerase activity or fidelity.
