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

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium uses the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) type III secretion system to induce inflammatory diarrhea and bacterial uptake into intestinal epithelial cells. The expression of hilA, encoding the transcriptional activator of the SPI1 structural genes, is directly controlled by three AraC-like regulators, HilD, HilC, and RtsA, each of which can activate the hilD, hilC, rtsA, and hilA genes, forming a complex feed-forward regulatory loop. A large number of factors and environmental signals have been implicated in SPI1 regulation. We have developed a series of genetic tests that allows us to determine where these factors feed into the SPI1 regulatory circuit. Using this approach, we have grouped 21 of the known SPI1 regulators and environmental signals into distinct classes on the basis of observed regulatory patterns, anchored by those few systems where the mechanism of regulation is best understood. Many of these factors are shown to work post-transcriptionally at the level of HilD, while others act at the hilA promoter or affect all SPI1 promoters. Analysis of the published transcriptomic data reveals apparent coregulation of the SPI1 and flagellar genes in various conditions. However, we show that in most cases, the factors that affect both systems control SPI1 independently of the flagellar protein FliZ, despite its role as an important SPI1 regulator and coordinator of the two systems. These results provide a comprehensive model for SPI1 regulation that serves as a framework for future molecular analyses of this complex regulatory network.
