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

N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), a toxic solvent used in the chemical industry, is frequently present in industrial wastes. Plasmid pAMI2 (18.6 kb) of Paracoccus aminophilus JCM 7686 carries genetic information which is crucial for methylotrophic growth of this bacterium, using DMF as the sole source of carbon and energy. Besides a conserved backbone related to pAgK84 of Agrobacterium radiobacter K84, pAMI2 carries a three-gene cluster coding for the protein DmfR, which has sequence similarities to members of the LuxR family of transcription regulators, and two subunits (DmfA1 and DmfA2) of N,N-dimethylformamidase, an enzyme of high substrate specificity that catalyzes the first step in the degradation of DMF. Genetic analysis revealed that these genes, which are all placed in the same orientation, constitute an inducible operon whose expression is activated in the presence of DMF by the positive transcription regulator DmfR. This operon was used to construct a strain able to degrade DMF at high concentrations that might be used in the biotreatment of DMF-containing industrial wastewaters. To our knowledge, this is the first study to provide insights into the genetic organization and regulation as well as the dissemination in bacteria of genes involved in the enzymatic breakdown of DMF.
