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

Water-forming NADH oxidases (encoded by noxE, nox2, or nox) are flavoproteins generally implicated in the aerobic survival of microaerophilic bacteria, such as lactic acid bacteria. However, some natural Lactococcus lactis strains produce an inactive NoxE. We examined the role of NoxE in the oxygen tolerance of L. lactis in the rich synthetic medium GM17. Inactivation of noxE suppressed 95% of NADH oxidase activity but only slightly affected aerobic growth, oxidative stress resistance, and NAD regeneration. However, noxE inactivation strongly impaired oxygen consumption and mixed-acid fermentation. We found that the A303T mutation is responsible for the loss of activity of a naturally occurring variant of NoxE. Replacement of A303 with T or G or of G307 with S or A by site-directed mutagenesis led to NoxE aggregation and the total loss of activity. We demonstrated that L299 is involved in NoxE activity, probably contributing to positioning flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in the active site. These residues are part of the strongly conserved sequence LA(T)XXAXXXG included in an alpha helix that is present in other flavoprotein disulfide reductase (FDR) family flavoproteins that display very similar three-dimensional structures.
