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

Agrobacterium tumefaciens possesses three iron-containing superoxide dismutases (FeSods) encoded by distinct genes with differential expression patterns. SodBI and SodBII are cytoplasmic isozymes, while SodBIII is a periplasmic isozyme. sodBI is expressed at a high levels throughout all growth phases. sodBII expression is highly induced upon exposure to superoxide anions in a SoxR-dependent manner. sodBIII is expressed only during stationary phase. Analysis of the physiological function of sods reveals that the inactivation of sodBI markedly reduced levels of resistance to a superoxide generator, menadione. A mutant lacking all three Sod enzymes is the most sensitive to menadione treatment, indicating that all sods contribute at various levels towards the overall menadione resistance level. Sods also have important roles in A. tumefaciens virulence toward a host plant. A sodBI but not a sodBII or sodBIII mutant showed marked reduction in its ability to induce tumors on tobacco leaf discs, while the triple sod null mutant is avirulent.
