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

Maintaining appropriate levels of the global regulator FNR is critical to its function as an O(2) sensor. In this study, we examined the mechanisms that control transcription of fnr to increase our understanding of how FNR protein levels are regulated. Under anaerobic conditions, one mechanism that controls fnr expression is negative autoregulation by the active [4Fe-4S] form of FNR. Through DNase I footprinting and in vitro transcription experiments, we observed that direct binding of [4Fe-4S]-FNR to the predicted downstream FNR binding site is sufficient for repression of the fnr promoter in vitro. In addition, the downstream FNR binding site was required for repression of transcription from fnr'-lacZ fusions in vivo. No repression of fnr was observed in vivo or in vitro with the apoprotein form of FNR, indicating that repression requires the dimeric, Fe-S cluster-containing protein. Furthermore, our in vitro and in vivo data suggest that [4Fe-4S]-FNR does not bind to the predicted upstream FNR binding site within the fnr promoter. Rather, we provide evidence that integration host factor binds to this upstream region and increases in vivo expression of Pfnr under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
