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

The Bacillus subtilis fadR regulon involved in fatty acid degradation comprises five operons, lcfA-fadR-fadB-etfB-etfA, lcfB, fadN-fadA-fadE, fadH-fadG, and fadF-acdA-rpoE. Since the lcfA-fadRB-etfBA, lcfB, and fadNAE operons, whose gene products directly participate in the β-oxidation cycle, had been found to be probably catabolite repressed upon genome-wide transcript analysis, we performed Northern blotting, which indicated that they are clearly under CcpA-dependent catabolite repression. So, we searched for catabolite-responsive elements (cre's) to which the complex of CcpA and P-Ser-HPr binds to exert catabolite repression by means of a web-based cis-element search in the B. subtilis genome using known cre sequences, which revealed the respective candidate cre sequences in the lcfA, lcfB, and fadN genes. DNA footprinting indicated that the complex actually interacted with these cre's in vitro. Deletion analysis of each cre using the lacZ fusions with the respective promoter regions of the three operons with and without it, indicated that these cre's are involved in the CcpA-dependent catabolite repression of the operons in vivo.
