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

Aeromonas hydrophila polar-flagellum class I gene transcription is σ70 dependent, which is consistent with the fact that the A. hydrophila polar flagellum is constitutively expressed. In contrast to other bacteria with dual flagellar systems such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the A. hydrophila LafK protein does not compensate for the lack of the polar-flagellum regulator FlrA (V. parahaemolyticus FlaK homologue). This is consistent with the fact that the A. hydrophila FlrA mutation abolishes polar-flagellum formation in liquid and on solid surfaces but does not affect inducible lateral-flagellum formation. The results highlight that the polar- and lateral-flagellum interconnections and control networks are specific and that there are differences between the dual flagellar systems in A. hydrophila and V. parahaemolyticus. Furthermore, our results indicate that the A. hydrophila polar-flagellum transcriptional hierarchy (also in class II, III, and IV genes) shares some similarities with but has many important differences from the transcriptional hierarchies of Vibrio cholerae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The A. hydrophila flhF and flhG genes are essential for the assembly of a functional polar flagellum because in-frame mutants fail to swim in liquid medium and lack the polar flagellum. In Vibrio and Pseudomonas flhG disruption increases the number of polar flagella per cell, and Pseudomonas flhF disruption gives an aberrant placement of flagellum. Here, we propose the gene transcriptional hierarchy for the A. hydrophila polar flagellum.
