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

As reported, the two-component system ColRS is involved in two completely different processes. It facilitates the root colonization ability of Pseudomonas fluorescens and is necessary for the Tn4652 transposition-dependent accumulation of phenol-utilizing mutants in Pseudomonas putida. To determine the role of the ColRS system in P. putida, we searched for target genes of response regulator ColR by use of a promoter library. Promoter screening was performed on phenol plates to mimic the conditions under which the effect of ColR on transposition was detected. The library screen revealed the porin-encoding gene oprQ and the alginate biosynthesis gene algD occurring under negative control of ColR. Binding of ColR to the promoter regions of oprQ and algD in vitro confirmed its direct involvement in regulation of these genes. Additionally, the porin-encoding gene ompA(PP0773) and the type I pilus gene csuB were also identified in the promoter screen. However, it turned out that ompA(PP0773) and csuB were actually affected by phenol and that the influence of ColR on these promoters was indirect. Namely, our results show that ColR is involved in phenol tolerance of P. putida. Phenol MIC measurement demonstrated that a colR mutant strain did not tolerate elevated phenol concentrations. Our data suggest that increased phenol susceptibility is also the reason for inhibition of transposition of Tn4652 in phenol-starving colR mutant bacteria. Thus, the current study revealed the role of the ColRS two-component system in regulation of membrane functionality, particularly in phenol tolerance of P. putida.
