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 promoter driving expression of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene lipF (Rv3487c) had previously been identified as being upregulated by acidic stress. Subsequently a 59 base pair (bp) acid inducible minimal promoter region was isolated in which a putative -10 region was identified. In this study we use mutational analysis to investigate the -10 region of the lipF promoter. Mutations within this region lead to a dramatic decrease of promoter activity, while a mutation outside of this region does not affect promoter activity.
