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 rpoH gene encoding a heat shock sigma factor, sigma(32), was cloned from the psychrophilic bacterium Colwellia maris. The deduced amino acid sequence of sigma(32) from C. maris is more than 60% homologous to that of sigma(32) from mesophilic bacteria. The RpoH box, a 9-amino-acid sequence region (QRKLFFNLR) specific to sigma(32), and two downstream box sequences complementary to a part of 16S rRNA were identified. Primer extension analysis showed that the C. maris rpoH is expressed from only one sigma(70)-type promoter. Northern blot analysis showed that the level of rpoH mRNA was clearly increased at 20 degrees C, a temperature that induces heat shock in this organism. In the presence of an inhibitor of transcriptional initiation, the degradation of rpoH mRNA was much slower at 20 degrees C than at 10 degrees C. Thus, increased stability of the rpoH mRNA might be responsible for the rpoH mRNA accumulation. The predicted secondary structure of the 5'-region of C. maris rpoH mRNA was different from the conserved patterns reported for most mesophilic bacteria, and the base pairing of the downstream boxes appeared to be less stable than that of Escherichia coli rpoH mRNA. Thus, essential features that ensure the HSP expression at a relatively low temperature are embedded in the rpoH gene of psychrophiles.
