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

Salmonella pathogenicity island 4 (SPI4) encodes a type I secretion system and the cognate substrate protein, SiiE. We have recently demonstrated that SiiE is a giant nonfimbrial adhesin involved in the adhesion of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium to polarized epithelial cells. We also observed that under in vitro culture conditions, the synthesis and secretion of SiiE coincided with the activation of Salmonella invasion genes. These observations prompted us to investigate the regulation of SPI4 genes in detail. A novel approach for the generation of reporter gene fusions was employed to generate single-copy chromosomal fusions to various genes within SPI4, and the expression of these fusions was investigated. We analyzed the regulation of SPI4 genes and the roles of various regulatory systems for SPI4 expression. Our data show that the expression of SPI4 genes is coregulated with SPI1 invasion genes by the global regulator SirA. Expression of a SPI4 gene was also reduced in the absence of HilA, the central local regulator of SPI1 gene expression. Both SirA and HilA functions were required for the secretion of SiiE and the SPI4-mediated adhesion. Our data demonstrate that SPI4-mediated adhesion, as well as SPI1-mediated invasion, are tightly coregulated by the same regulatory circuits and induced under similar environmental conditions.
