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

Alternative sigma factor 54 (RpoN) is an important regulator of stress resistance and virulence genes in many bacterial species. In this study, we report on the gene expression alterations that follow rpoN inactivation in Escherichia coli O157 : H7 strain Sakai (Sakai rpoN : : kan), and the influence of RpoN on the acid resistance phenotype. Microarray gene expression profiling revealed the differential expression of 103 genes in SakairpoN : : kan relative to Sakai. This included the growth-phase-dependent upregulation of genes required for glutamate-dependent acid resistance (GDAR) ( gadA, gadB, gadC and gadE), and the downregulation of locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) genes, which encode a type III secretion system. Upregulation of gad genes in SakairpoN : : kan during exponential growth correlated with increased GDAR and survival in a model stomach system. Complementation of SakairpoN : : kan with a cloned version of rpoN restored acid susceptibility. Genes involved in GDAR regulation, including rpoS (sigma factor 38) and gadE (acid-responsive regulator), were shown to be required for the survival of SakairpoN : : kan by the GDAR mechanism. This study describes the contribution of rpoN to acid resistance and GDAR gene regulation, and reveals RpoN to be an important regulator of stress resistance and virulence genes in E. coli O157 : H7.
