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

Synechococcus elongatus strain PCC 7942 is an alkaliphilic cyanobacterium that tolerates a relatively high salt concentration as a freshwater microorganism. Its genome sequence revealed seven genes, nha1 to nha7 (syn_pcc79420811, syn_pcc79421264, syn_pcc7942359, syn_pcc79420546, syn_pcc79420307, syn_pcc79422394, and syn_pcc79422186), and the deduced amino acid sequences encoded by these genes are similar to those of Na(+)/H(+) antiporters. The present work focused on molecular and functional characterization of these nha genes encoding Na(+)/H(+) antiporters. Our results show that of the nha genes expressed in Escherichia coli, only nha3 complemented the deficient Na(+)/H(+) antiporter activity of the Na(+)-sensitive TO114 recipient strain. Moreover, two of the cyanobacterial strains with separate disruptions in the nha genes (Deltanha1, Deltanha2, Deltanha3, Deltanha4, Deltanha5, and Deltanha7) had a phenotype different from that of the wild type. In particular, DeltanhA3 cells showed a high-salt- and alkaline-pH-sensitive phenotype, while Deltanha2 cells showed low salt and alkaline pH sensitivity. Finally, the transcriptional profile of the nha1 to nha7 genes, monitored using the real-time PCR technique, revealed that the nha6 gene is upregulated and the nha1 gene is downregulated under certain environmental conditions.
