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

Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are produced by many Pseudomonas species and have several biological functions, including a role in surface motility, biofilm formation, virulence, and antimicrobial activity. This study focused on the diversity and role of LuxR-type transcriptional regulators in CLP biosynthesis in Pseudomonas species and, specifically, viscosin production by Pseudomonas fluorescens strain SBW25. Phylogenetic analyses showed that CLP biosynthesis genes in Pseudomonas strains are flanked by LuxR-type regulators that contain a DNA-binding helix-turn-helix domain but lack N-acylhomoserine lactone-binding or response regulator domains. For SBW25, site-directed mutagenesis of the genes coding for either of the two identified LuxR-type regulators, designated ViscAR and ViscBCR, strongly reduced transcript levels of the viscABC biosynthesis genes and resulted in a loss of viscosin production. Expression analyses further showed that a mutation in either viscAR or viscBCR did not substantially (change of <2.5-fold) affect transcription of the other regulator. Transformation of the DeltaviscAR mutant of SBW25 with a LuxR-type regulatory gene from P. fluorescens strain SS101 that produces massetolide, a CLP structurally related to viscosin, restored transcription of the viscABC genes and viscosin production. The results further showed that a functional viscAR gene was required for heterologous expression of the massetolide biosynthesis genes of strain SS101 in strain SBW25, leading to the production of both viscosin and massetolide. Collectively, these results indicate that the regulators flanking the CLP biosynthesis genes in Pseudomonas species represent a unique LuxR subfamily of proteins and that viscosin biosynthesis in P. fluorescens SBW25 is controlled by two LuxR-type transcriptional regulators.
