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

ppGpp regulates gene expression in a variety of bacteria and in plants. We proposed previously that ppGpp or its precursor, pppGpp [referred to collectively as (p)ppGpp], or both might regulate the activity of the enzyme polynucleotide phosphorylase in Streptomyces species. We have examined the effects of (p)ppGpp on the polymerization and phosphorolysis activities of PNPase from Streptomyces coelicolor, Streptomyces antibioticus, and Escherichia coli. We have shown that (p)ppGpp inhibits the activities of both Streptomyces PNPases but not the E. coli enzyme. The inhibition kinetics for polymerization using the Streptomyces enzymes are of the mixed noncompetitive type, suggesting that (p)ppGpp binds to a region other than the active site of the enzyme. ppGpp also inhibited the phosphorolysis of a model RNA substrate derived from the rpsO-pnp operon of S. coelicolor. We have shown further that the chemical stability of mRNA increases during the stationary phase in S. coelicolor and that induction of a plasmid-borne copy of relA in a relA-null mutant increases the chemical stability of bulk mRNA as well. We speculate that the observed inhibition in vitro may reflect a role of ppGpp in the regulation of antibiotic production in vivo.
