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

Most bacteria live in a dynamic environment where temperature, availability of nutrients and the presence of various chemicals vary, which requires rapid adaptation. Many of the adaptive changes are determined by changes in the transcription of global regulatory networks, but this response is slow because most bacterial proteins are stable and their concentration remains high even after transcription slows down. To respond rapidly, an additional level of regulation has evolved: the degradation of key proteins. However, as proteolysis is an irreversible process, it is subject to tight regulation of substrate binding and degradation. Here we review the roles of the proteolytic enzymes in Gram-negative bacteria and how these enzymes can be regulated to target only a subset of proteins.
