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

We identified a new regulator, PcaO, which is involved in regulation of the protocatechuate (PCA) branch of the beta-ketoadipate pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum. PcaO is an atypical large ATP-binding LuxR family (LAL)-type regulator and does not have a Walker A motif. A mutant of C. glutamicum in which pcaO was disrupted (RES167DeltapcaO) was unable to grow on PCA, and growth on PCA was restored by complementation with pcaO. Both an enzymatic assay of PCA 3,4-dioxygenase activity (encoded by pcaHG) and transcriptional analysis of pcaHG by reverse transcription-PCR revealed that PcaO positively regulated pcaHG. A promoter-LacZ transcriptional fusion assay suggested that PcaO interacted with the sequence upstream of pcaHG. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) analysis indicated that an imperfect palindromic sequence ((-78)AACCCCTGACCTTCGGGGTT(-59)) that was located upstream of the -35 region of the pcaHG promoter was essential for PcaO regulation. DNase I footprinting showed that this imperfect palindrome was protected from DNase I digestion. Site-directed mutation and EMSA tests revealed that this palindrome sequence was essential for PcaO binding to the DNA fragment. In vitro EMSA results showed that ATP weakened the binding between PcaO and its target sequence but ADP strengthened this binding, while the effect of protocatechuate on PcaO binding was dependent on the protocatechuate concentration.
