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

Pseudomonas putida S12 is well known for its remarkable solvent tolerance. Transcriptomics analysis of this bacterium grown in toluene-containing chemostats revealed the differential expression of 253 genes. As expected, the genes encoding one of the major solvent tolerance mechanisms, the solvent efflux pump SrpABC and its regulatory genes srpRS were heavily up-regulated. The increased energy demand brought about by toluene stress was also reflected in transcriptional changes: genes involved in sugar storage were down-regulated whereas genes involved in energy generation such as isocitrate dehydrogenase and NADH dehydrogenases, were up-regulated in the presence of toluene. Several flagella-related genes were up-regulated and a large group of transport genes were down-regulated. In addition, a novel Pseudomonas-specific gene was identified to be involved in toluene tolerance of P. putida S12. This toluene-repressed gene, trgI, was heavily down-regulated immediately upon toluene exposure in batch cultures. The relationship of trgI with solvent tolerance was confirmed by the increased resistance to toluene shock and toluene induced lysis of trgI knock-out mutants. We propose that down-regulation of trgI plays a role in the first line of defence against solvents.
