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

Disruption of eshA, which encodes a 52-kDa protein that is produced late during the growth of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), resulted in elimination of actinorhodin production. In contrast, disruption of eshB, a close homologue of eshA, had no effect on antibiotic production. The eshA disruptant accumulated lower levels of ppGpp than the wild-type strain accumulated. The loss of actinorhodin production in the eshA disruptant was restored by expression of a truncated relA gene, which increased the ppGpp level to the level in the wild-type strain, indicating that the reduced ppGpp accumulation in the eshA mutant was solely responsible for the loss of antibiotic production. Antibiotic production was also restored in the eshA mutant by introducing mutations into rpoB (encoding the RNA polymerase beta subunit) that bypassed the requirement for ppGpp, which is consistent with a role for EshA in modulating ppGpp levels. EshA contains a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain that is essential for its role in triggering actinorhodin production. EshA may provide new insights and opportunities to unravel the molecular signaling events that occur during physiological differentiation in streptomycetes.
