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

The genome of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 encodes only five recognizable proteins belonging to the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS). Two of these PTS constituents (FruA and FruB) form a complete system for fructose intake. The other three products, encoded by ptsP (EI(Ntr)), ptsO (NPr), and ptsN (EIIA(Ntr)), comprise a branch of the system unrelated to sugar traffic but thought to have an influence on coordination of N and C metabolism. We used a genetic approach to clarify the course of high-energy phosphate through this reduced set of PTS proteins. To this end, we monitored the phosphorylation state in vivo of the EIIA(Ntr) enzyme in various genetic backgrounds and growth conditions. Our results show that the source of phosphate available to the system is PEP and that the primary flow of phosphate through the N/C-sensing PTS proceeds from PEP to EI(Ntr) to NPr to EIIA(Ntr). We also found that in the presence of fructose, unlike in the presence of succinate, EIIA(Ntr) can be phosphorylated in a ptsP strain but not in a ptsP fruB double mutant. This result revealed that the fructose transport system has the ability to cross talk in vivo with the N-related PTS branch. The data reported here thus document an unexpected connection in vivo between the sugar-dependent and sugar-independent PTSs.
