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

Pure cultures of Pseudomonas mandelii were incubated with or without nitrate, which acts as a substrate and an electron acceptor for denitrification. Nitric oxide reductase (cnorB) gene expression was measured using a quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and nitrous oxide emissions were measured by gas chromatography. P. mandelii cells in either the presence or absence of nitrate demonstrated an increase in cnorB gene expression during the first 3 h of growth. The level of expression of cnorB in nitrate-amended cells remained high (average, 2.06 x 10(8) transcripts/microg of RNA), while in untreated cells it decreased to an average of 3.63 x 10(6) transcripts/microg of RNA from 4 to 6 h. Nitrous oxide accumulation in the headspace was detected at 2 h, and cumulative emissions continued to increase over a 24-h period to 101 mumol in nitrate-amended cells. P. mandelii cnorB gene expression was not detected under aerobic conditions. These results demonstrate that P. mandelii cnorB gene expression was induced 203-fold at 4 h when nitrate was present in the medium. Accumulations of N(2)O indicated that the cNorB enzyme was synthesized and active.
