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

Strong promoters were isolated from Flavobacterium johnsoniae in a promoter-trap vector incorporating a gfp reporter system, and were used to express fluorescent protein markers (including GFP, YFP, mOrange and mStrawberry) and insecticidal protein genes in Flavobacterium strains. Sequence analysis of trapped DNA fragments showed conserved Bacteroidetes promoter motifs (TTG-N(19)-TAnnTTTG) located upstream of putative open reading frames. Plasmids harboring these genomic DNA fragments from F. johnsoniae promoted strong production of fluorescent proteins in Flavobacterium hibernum but not in Escherichiacoli. The most potent promoter (PompA) identified in this work was cloned upstream of genes encoding fluorescent proteins, and these were co-expressed in Flavobacterium strains. The p42 and p51 genes (binary toxins from Bacillus sphaericus) when translationally fused to the 3'-end of gfp showed strong expression. Flavobacteria expressing these genes exhibited toxicity against larvae of the mosquitoes Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles gambiae, and Ochlerotatus triseriatus. However, transformants with the transcriptional fusion construct between cry11A with p20 from Bacillus thuringiensis did not express Cry11A protein indicating that constitutive expression of cry11A may be problematic in Flavobacterium.
