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 ability to control intracellular levels of transition metals such as Mn(2+), Fe(2+) and Zn(2+) is critical for the virulence of many pathogenic bacteria. In this issue of Molecular Microbiology, Rosch et al. describe the first identification of a Mn(2+) efflux system in bacteria, MntE of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and demonstrate that it is required for virulence in an animal model. Disruption of the mntE gene leads to widespread transcriptional changes that are distinct from responses to extracellular Mn(2+). These findings reveal, for the first time, that a bacterial trace metal efflux system plays a role in disease. Thus, MntE represents a new lead for the development of antimicrobials specifically aimed at disrupting microbial metal ion homeostasis.
