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

Helicobacter pylori colonizes the acidic gastric environment, in contrast to all other neutralophiles, whose acid resistance and tolerance responses allow only gastric transit. This acid adaptation is dependent on regulation of gene expression in response to pH changes in the periplasm and cytoplasm. The cytoplasmic histidine kinase, HP0244, which until now was thought only to regulate flagellar gene expression via its cognate response regulator, HP0703, was found to generate a response to declining medium pH. Although not required for survival at pH 4.5, HP0244 is required for survival at pH 2.5 with 10 mM urea after 30 min. Transcriptional profiling of a HP0244 deletion mutant grown at pH 7.4 confirmed the contribution of HP0244 to sigma(54) activation via HP0703 to coordinate flagellar biosynthesis by a pH-independent regulon that includes 14 flagellar genes. Microarray analysis of cells grown at pH 4.5 without urea revealed an additional 22 genes, including 4 acid acclimation genes (ureA, ureB, ureI, and amiE) that are positively regulated by HP0244. Additionally, 86 differentially expressed genes, including 3 acid acclimation genes (ureF, rocF [arginase], and ansB [asparaginase]), were found in cells grown at pH 2.5 with 30 mM urea. Hence, HP0244 has, in addition to the pH-independent flagellar regulon, a pH-dependent regulon, which allows adaptation to a wider range of environmental acid conditions. An acid survival study using an HP0703 mutant and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay with in vitro-phosphorylated HP0703 showed that HP0703 does not contribute to acid survival and does not bind to the promoter regions of several genes in the HP0244 pH-dependent regulon, suggesting that there is a pathway outside the HP0703 regulon which transduces the acid-responsive signal sensed by HP0244.
