Aerobic vanillate degradation and C1 compound metabolism in Bradyrhizobium japonicum.

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.
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
Bradyrhizobium japonicum, a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium, has multiple gene copies for aromatic degradation on the genome and is able to use low concentrations of vanillate, a methoxylated lignin monomer, as an energy source. A transcriptome analysis indicated that one set of vanA1B, pcaG1H1, and genes for C(1) compound catabolism was upregulated in B. japonicum USDA110 cells grown in vanillate (N. Ito, M. Itakura, S. Eda, K. Saeki, H. Oomori, T. Yokoyama, T. Kaneko, S. Tabata, T. Ohwada, S. Tajima, T. Uchiumi, E. Masai, M. Tsuda, H. Mitsui, and K. Minamisawa, Microbes Environ. 21:240-250, 2006). To examine the functions of these genes in vanillate degradation, we tested cell growth and substrate consumption in vanA1B, pcaG1H1, and mxaF mutants of USDA110. The vanA1B and pcaG1H1 mutants were unable to grow in minimal media containing 1 mM vanillate and protocatechuate, respectively, although wild-type USDA110 was able to grow in both media, indicating that the upregulated copies of vanA1B and pcaG1H1 are exclusively responsible for vanillate degradation. Mutating mxaF eliminated expression of gfa and flhA, which contribute to glutathione-dependent C(1) metabolism. The mxaF mutant had markedly lower cell growth in medium containing vanillate than the wild-type strain. In the presence of protocatechuate, there was no difference in cell growth between the mxaF mutant and the wild-type strain. These results suggest that the C(1) pathway genes are required for efficient vanillate catabolism. In addition, wild-type USDA110 oxidized methanol, whereas the mxaF mutant did not, suggesting that the metabolic capability of the C(1) pathway in B. japonicum extends to methanol oxidation. The mxaF mutant showed normal nodulation and N(2) fixation phenotypes with soybeans, which was not similar to symbiotic phenotypes of methylotrophic rhizobia.
