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

We have identified a second RpoH homolog, RpoH(II), in the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Primary amino acid sequence comparisons demonstrate that R. sphaeroides RpoH(II) belongs to a phylogenetically distinct group with RpoH orthologs from alpha-proteobacteria that contain two rpoH genes. Like its previously identified paralog, RpoH(I), RpoH(II) is able to complement the temperature-sensitive phenotype of an Escherichia coli sigma(32) (rpoH) mutant. In addition, we show that recombinant RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) each transcribe two E. coli sigma(32)-dependent promoters (rpoD P(HS) and dnaK P1) when reconstituted with E. coli core RNA polymerase. We observed differences, however, in the ability of each sigma factor to recognize six R. sphaeroides promoters (cycA P1, groESL(1), rpoD P(HS), dnaK P1, hslO, and ecfE), all of which resemble the E. coli sigma(32) promoter consensus. While RpoH(I) reconstituted with R. sphaeroides core RNA polymerase transcribed all six promoters, RpoH(II) produced detectable transcripts from only four promoters (cycA P1, groESL(1), hslO, and ecfE). These results, in combination with previous work demonstrating that an RpoH(I) mutant mounts a typical heat shock response, suggest that while RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) have redundant roles in response to heat, they may also have roles in response to other environmental stresses.
