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

Vibrio cholerae lives in different habitats, varying from aquatic ecosystems to the human intestinal tract. The organism has acquired a set of electron transport pathways for aerobic and anaerobic respiration that enable adaptation to the various environmental conditions. We have inactivated the V. cholerae ccmE gene, which is required for cytochrome c biogenesis. The resulting strain is deficient of all c-type cytochromes and allows us to characterize the physiological role of these proteins. Under aerobic conditions in rich medium, V. cholerae produces at least six c-type cytochromes, none of which is required for growth. Wild-type V. cholerae produces active fumarate reductase, trimethylamine N-oxide reductase, cbb3 oxidase, and nitrate reductase, of which only the fumarate reductase does not require maturation of c-type cytochromes. The reduction of nitrate in the medium resulted in the accumulation of nitrite, which is toxic for the cells. This suggests that V. cholerae is able to scavenge nitrate from the environment only in the presence of other nitrite-reducing organisms. The phenotypes of cytochrome c-deficient V. cholerae were used in a transposon mutagenesis screening to search for additional genes required for cytochrome c maturation. Over 55,000 mutants were analyzed for nitrate reductase and cbb3 oxidase activity. No transposon insertions other than those within the ccm genes for cytochrome c maturation and the dsbD gene, which encodes a disulphide bond reductase, were found. In addition, the role of a novel CcdA-like protein in cbb3 oxidase assembly is discussed.
