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

In prokaryotes, flagellar biogenesis is a complicated process involving over 40 genes. The phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris possesses a single polar flagellum, which is essential for the swimming motility. A sigma54 activator, FleQ, has been shown to be required for the transcriptional activation of the flagellar type III secretion system (F-T3SS), rod, and hook proteins. One of the two rpoN genes, rpoN2, encoding sigma54, is essential for flagellation. RpoN2 and FleQ direct the expression of a second alternative sigma FliA (sigma28) that is essential for the expression of the flagellin FliC. FlgM interacts with FliA and represses the FliA regulons. An flgM mutant overexpressing FliC generates a deformed flagellum and displays an abnormal motility. Mutation in the two structural genes of F-T3SS, flhA and flhB, suppresses the production of FliC. Furthermore, FliA protein levels are decreased in an flhB mutant. A mutant defective in flhA, but not flhB, exhibits a decreased infection rate. In conclusion, the flagellar biogenesis of Xanthomonas campestris requires alternative sigma factors RpoN2 and FliA and is temporally regulated by FlhA, FlhB, and FlgM.
