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

Enterococcus faecalis V583 was grown in a glucose-limited chemostat at three different growth rates (0.05, 0.15, and 0.4 h⁻¹). The fermentation pattern changed with growth rate, from a mostly homolactic profile at a high growth rate to a fermentation dominated by formate, acetate, and ethanol production at a low growth rate. A number of amino acids were consumed at the lower growth rates but not by fast-growing cells. The change in metabolic profile was caused mainly by decreased flux through lactate dehydrogenase. The transcription of ldh-1, encoding the principal lactate dehydrogenase, showed very strong growth rate dependence and differed by three orders of magnitude between the highest and the lowest growth rates. Despite the increase in ldh-1 transcript, the content of the Ldh-1 protein was the same under all conditions. Using microarrays and quantitative PCR, the levels of 227 gene transcripts were found to be affected by the growth rate, and 56 differentially expressed proteins were found by proteomic analyses. Few genes or proteins showed a growth rate-dependent increase or decrease in expression across the whole range of conditions, and many showed a maximum or minimum at the middle growth rate (i.e., 0.15 h⁻¹). For many gene products, a discrepancy between transcriptomic and proteomic data were seen, indicating posttranscriptional regulation of expression.
