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

Acidity in vesicles of macrophages is a general signal that bacteria respond to during infection. Mycobacteria are particularly capable of resisting the acidification in macrophages that engulf the bacteria. In this work, we used label-free quantitative proteomics to study the Mycobacterium smegmatis proteome under acid stress so as to gain an insight into the acidic adaptation in mycobacteria. We quantified 1032 proteins. With a 3-fold change threshold, 20 and 52 proteins were found regulated at false discovery rates of 5% and 14% respectively. We performed a systems analysis based on gene ontology for the global proteome expression profile. We found that the most significant changes induced by the acid stress include a downregulation of transmembrane transporter activity and an upregulation of enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism. The results suggest that reduced transmembrane transport and increased fatty acid metabolism probably contribute to or associate with acid tolerance in mycobacteria.
