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

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important pathogenic variant (pathovar) of E. coli in developing countries from a human health perspective, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have examined specific regulatory networks in ETEC, although little is known about the global effects of inter- and intrakingdom signaling on the expression of virulence and colonization factors in ETEC. In this study, an E. coli/Shigella pan-genome microarray, combined with quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), was used to quantify the expression of ETEC virulence and colonization factors. Biologically relevant chemical signals were combined with ETEC isolate E24377A during growth in either Luria broth (LB) or Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM), and transcription was examined during different phases of the growth cycle; chemical signals examined included glucose, bile salts, and preconditioned media from E. coli/Shigella isolates. The results demonstrate that the presence of bile salts, which are found in the intestine and thought to be bactericidal, upregulates the expression of many ETEC virulence factors, including heat-stable (estA) and heat-labile (eltA) enterotoxin genes. In contrast, the ETEC colonization factors CS1 and CS3 were downregulated in the presence of bile, consistent with findings in studies of other enteric pathogens. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that one of the most differentially expressed genes in the presence of bile is a unique plasmid-encoded AraC-like transcriptional regulator (peaR); other previously unknown genetic elements were found as well. These results provide transcriptional targets and putative mechanisms that should help improve understanding of the global regulatory networks and virulence expression in this important human pathogen.
