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

Ethambutol (EMB), one of the effective anti-mycobacterial drugs, inhibits the biosynthesis of mycobacterium cell wall. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of EMB against tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 was employed as a model of mycobacterial system in this study. We compared the protein profiles on M. smegmatis mc²155 treated by EMB and untreated using fluorescence difference two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE). A total of 40 differential protein spots were selected and 22 proteins were identified by HPLC-nano ESI-MS/MS analysis, including 16 over-expressed proteins and 6 under-expressed proteins. These proteins mainly affected energy metabolism, as well as synthesis and modification of macromolecules. The expressions of correspondent genes were confirmed by RT-PCR. This investigation provided some clues for searching potential drug targets.
