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

Porphyromonas gingivalis, the causative agent of adult periodontitis, must maintain nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis and surmount nitric oxide stress from host immune responses or other oral bacteria to survive in the periodontal pocket. To determine the involvement of a putative hydroxylamine reductase (PG0893) and a putative nitrite reductase-related protein (PG2213) in P. gingivalis W83 NO stress resistance, genes encoding those proteins were inactivated by allelic exchange mutagenesis. The isogenic mutants P. gingivalis FLL455 (PG0893ermF) and FLL456 (PG2213ermF) were black pigmented and showed growth rates and gingipain and hemolytic activities similar to those of the wild-type strain. P. gingivalis FLL455 was more sensitive to NO than the wild type. Complementation of P. gingivalis FLL455 with the wild-type gene restored the level of NO sensitivity to a level similar to that of the parent strain. P. gingivalis FLL455 and FLL456 showed sensitivity to oxidative stress similar to that of the wild-type strain. DNA microarray analysis showed that PG0893 and PG2213 were upregulated 1.4- and 2-fold, respectively, in cells exposed to NO. In addition, 178 genes were upregulated and 201 genes downregulated more than 2-fold. The majority of these modulated genes were hypothetical or of unknown function. PG1181, predicted to encode a transcriptional regulator, was upregulated 76-fold. Transcriptome in silico analysis of the microarray data showed major metabolomic variations in key pathways. Collectively, these findings indicate that PG0893 and several other genes may play an important role in P. gingivalis NO stress resistance.
