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 mcr gene of Gordonia polyisoprenivorans VH2 is not clustered with genes required for rubber degradation. Its disruption by insertion of a kanamycin resistance cassette impaired growth on methyl-branched isoprenoids but not on linear hydrocarbons. Intact mcr from this bacterium or from Nocardia farcinica IFM 10152 complemented the mutant. Reverse transcription analysis showed similar mcr(VH2) expression results during cultivation with poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) and propionate. Additional genes coding for a putative cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase involved in beta-oxidation and poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) degradation were also characterized.
