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

CodY is a global transcriptional regulator known to control expression of more than 100 genes and operons in Bacillus subtilis. Some of the most strongly repressed targets of CodY, the nupNOPQ (formerly, yufNOPQ) genes, were found to encode a guanosine transporter. Using DNase I footprinting experiments, we identified two high-affinity CodY-binding sites in the regulatory region of the nupN gene. The two sites are located 50 bp upstream and 163 bp downstream of the transcription start site. The downstream site was responsible for 6- to 8-fold nupN repression in the absence of the upstream site. When the upstream site was intact, however, only a minor contribution of the downstream site to nupN regulation could be detected under the conditions tested. Both sites contained 15-bp CodY-binding motifs with two mismatches each with respect to the consensus sequence, AATTTTCWGTTTTAA. However, the experimentally determined binding sites included additional sequences flanking the 15-bp CodY-binding motifs. An additional version of the 15-bp CodY-binding motif, with 5 mismatches with respect to the consensus but essential for efficient regulation by CodY, was found within the upstream site. The presence of multiple 15-bp motifs may be a common feature of CodY-binding sites.
