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

A dual luciferase reporter (DLR) system utilizing firefly and Renilla luciferases was developed and tested in a model rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas putida KT2440. The DLR was applied to simultaneously analyze expression of three putative bacterioferritin genes (bfralpha, bfrbeta, and bfr) and assess the cellular iron status of strain KT2440 by monitoring expression of the Fur-regulated fepA-fes promoter. The DLR proved to be reproducible and sensitive. Expression of bfralpha (PP0482) and bfrbeta (PP1082) was consistent with expectations for bacterioferritin and varied directly with the iron level. However, expression of bfr (PP4856) was inversely related to the iron concentration and it was thus more likely to encode a Dps-like protein rather than a bacterioferritin.
