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 this study, we present a glimpse of the diversity of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis IL1403 beta-galactosidase phenotype-negative mutants isolated by negative selection on solid media containing cellobiose or lactose and X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside), and we identify several genes essential for lactose assimilation. Among these are ccpA (encoding catabolite control protein A), bglS (encoding phospho-beta-glucosidase), and several genes from the Leloir pathway gene cluster encoding proteins presumably essential for lactose metabolism. The functions of these genes were demonstrated by their disruption and testing of the growth of resultant mutants in lactose-containing media. By examining the ccpA and bglS mutants for phospho-beta-galactosidase activity, we showed that expression of bglS is not under strong control of CcpA. Moreover, this analysis revealed that although BglS is homologous to a putative phospho-beta-glucosidase, it also exhibits phospho-beta-galactosidase activity and is the major enzyme in L. lactis IL1403 involved in lactose hydrolysis.
