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 Erwinia carotovora subspecies, N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) controls the expression of various traits, including extracellular enzyme/protein production and pathogenicity. We report here that E. carotovora subspecies possess two classes of quorum-sensing signaling systems defined by the nature of the major AHL analog produced as well as structural and functional characteristics of AHL synthase (AhlI) and AHL receptor (ExpR). Class I strains represented by E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica strain Eca12 and E. carotovora subsp. carotovora strains EC153 and SCC3193 produce 3-oxo-C8-HL (N-3-oxooctanoyl-l-homoserine lactone) as the major AHL analog as well as low but detectable levels of 3-oxo-C6-HL (N-3-oxohexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone). In contrast, the members of class II (i.e., E. carotovora subsp. betavasculorum strain Ecb168 and E. carotovora subsp. carotovora strains Ecc71 and SCRI193) produce 3-oxo-C6-HL as the major analog. ExpR species of both classes activate rsmA (Rsm, repressor of secondary metabolites) transcription and bind rsmA DNA. Gel mobility shift assays with maltose-binding protein (MBP)-ExpR(71) and MBP-ExpR(153) fusion proteins show that both bind a 20-mer sequence present in rsmA. The two ExpR functions (i.e., expR-mediated activation of rsmA expression and ExpR binding with rsmA DNA) are inhibited by AHL. The AHL effects are remarkably specific in that expR effect of EC153, a strain belonging to class I, is counteracted by 3-oxo-C8-HL but not by 3-oxo-C6-HL. Conversely, the expR effect of Ecc71, a strain belonging to class II, is neutralized by 3-oxo-C6-HL but not by 3-oxo-C8-HL. The AHL responses correlated with expR-mediated inhibition of exoprotein and secondary metabolite production.
