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

Concerted changes in the transcriptional pattern and physiological traits that result from long-term (here defined as up to 24 h) limitation of inorganic carbon (C(i)) have been investigated for the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. Results from reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and genome-wide DNA microarray analyses indicated stable up-regulation of genes for inducible CO(2) and HCO(3)(-) uptake systems and of the rfb cluster that encodes enzymes involved in outer cell wall polysaccharide synthesis. Coordinated up-regulation of photosystem I genes was further found and supported by a higher photosystem I content and activity under low C(i) (LC) conditions. Bacterial-type glycerate pathway genes were induced by LC conditions, in contrast to the genes for the plant-like photorespiratory C2 cycle. Down-regulation was observed for nitrate assimilation genes and surprisingly also for almost all carboxysomal proteins. However, for the latter the observed elongation of the half-life time of the large subunit of Rubisco protein may render compensation. Mutants defective in glycolate turnover (DeltaglcD and DeltagcvT) showed some transcriptional changes under high C(i) conditions that are characteristic for LC conditions in wild-type cells, like a modest down-regulation of carboxysomal genes. Properties under LC conditions were comparable to LC wild type, including the strong response of genes encoding inducible high-affinity C(i) uptake systems. Electron microscopy revealed a conspicuous increase in number of carboxysomes per cell in mutant DeltaglcD already under high C(i) conditions. These data indicate that an increased level of photorespiratory intermediates may affect carboxysomal components but does not intervene with the expression of majority of LC inducible genes.
