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

Methylotenera species, unlike their close relatives in the genera Methylophilus, Methylobacillus, and Methylovorus, neither exhibit the activity of methanol dehydrogenase nor possess mxaFI genes encoding this enzyme, yet they are able to grow on methanol. In this work, we integrated a genome-wide proteomics approach, shotgun proteomics, and a genome-wide transcriptomics approach, shotgun transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), of Methylotenera mobilis JLW8 to identify genes and enzymes potentially involved in methanol oxidation, with special attention to alternative nitrogen sources, to address the question of whether nitrate could play a role as an electron acceptor in place of oxygen. Both proteomics and transcriptomics identified a limited number of genes and enzymes specifically responding to methanol. This set includes genes involved in oxidative stress response systems, a number of oxidoreductases, including XoxF-type alcohol dehydrogenases, a type II secretion system, and proteins without a predicted function. Nitrate stimulated expression of some genes in assimilatory nitrate reduction and denitrification pathways, while ammonium downregulated some of the nitrogen metabolism genes. However, none of these genes appeared to respond to methanol, which suggests that oxygen may be the main electron sink during growth on methanol. This study identifies initial targets for future focused physiological studies, including mutant analysis, which will provide further details into this novel process.
