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

Mutants of Salmonella enterica lacking apbC have nutritional and biochemical properties indicative of defects in iron-sulfur ([Fe-S]) cluster metabolism. An apbC mutant is unable to grow on tricarballylate as a carbon source. Based on the ability of ApbC to transfer an [Fe-S] cluster to an apoprotein, this defect was attributed to poor loading of the [Fe-S] cluster-containing TcuB enzyme. Consistent with these observations, a previous study showed that overexpression of iscU, which encodes an [Fe-S] cluster molecular scaffold, suppressed the tricarballylate growth defect of an apbC mutant (J. M. Boyd, J. A. Lewis, J. C. Escalante-Semerena, and D. M. Downs, J. Bacteriol. 190:4596-4602, 2008). In this study, tcuC mutations that suppress the growth defect of an apbC mutant by decreasing the intracellular concentration of tricarballylate are described. Collectively, the suppressor analyses support a model in which reduced TcuB activity prevents growth on tricarballylate by (i) decreasing catabolism and (ii) allowing levels of tricarballylate that are toxic to the cell to accumulate. The apbC tcuC mutant strains described here reveal that the balance of the metabolic network can be altered by the accumulation of deleterious metabolites.
