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

Proline is an efficient source of both carbon and nitrogen for many bacterial species. In Bacillus subtilis, the proline utilization pathway, encoded by the putBCP operon, is inducible by proline. Here, we show that this induction is mediated by PutR, a proline-responsive transcriptional activator of the PucR family. When other amino acids are present in the medium, proline utilization is prioritized through transient repression by CodY, a global transcriptional regulator in Gram-positive bacteria that responds to amino acid availability. CodY-mediated repression of the putBCP operon has two novel features. First, repression requires the cooperative binding of CodY to at least two adjacent motifs. Second, though CodY binds to the region that overlaps the putB promoter, repression is due to displacement of PutR rather than competition with RNA polymerase.
