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

RegSR-like proteins, members of the family of two-component regulatory systems, are present in a large number of proteobacteria in which they globally control gene expression mostly in a redox-responsive manner. The controlled target genes feature an enormous functional diversity. In Bradyrhizobium japonicum, the facultative root nodule symbiont of soybean, RegSR activate the transcription of the nitrogen fixation regulatory gene nifA, thus forming a RegSR-NifA cascade which is part of a complex regulatory network for gene regulation in response to changing oxygen concentrations. Whole-genome transcription profiling was performed here in order to assess the full regulatory scope of RegSR. The comparative analysis of wild-type and delta regR cells grown under oxic and microoxic conditions revealed that expression of almost 250 genes is dependent on RegR, a result that underscores the important contribution of RegR to oxygen- or redox-regulated gene expression in B. japonicum. Furthermore, transcription profiling of delta regR bacteroids compared with wild-type bacteroids revealed expression changes for about 1,200 genes in young and mature bacteroids. Incidentally, many of these were found to be induced in symbiosis when wild-type bacteroids were compared with free-living, culture-grown wild-type cells, and they appeared to encode diverse functions possibly related to symbiosis and nitrogen fixation. We demonstrated direct RegR-mediated control at promoter regions of several selected target genes by means of DNA binding experiments and in vitro transcription assays, which revealed six novel direct RegR target promoters.
