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

The quorum-sensing and CsrA regulons of Vibrios control overlapping cellular functions during growth. Hence, the potential exists for regulatory network interactions between the pathways that enable them to be coordinately controlled. In Vibrio cholerae, CsrA indirectly modulates the activity of LuxO in the quorum-sensing signaling pathway. In this study, it was demonstrated that in Vibrio fischeri, CsrA causes an increase in the transcript levels of a downstream quorum-sensing regulatory gene, luxR, which does not exist in the V. cholerae system. In V. fischeri, the increase in luxR transcripts caused by CsrA does not depend on the LitR transcriptional activator nor does the CsrA effect seem to occur through the global regulator cAMP-CRP. Thus, there appears to be more than one mechanism whereby the CsrA and quorum-sensing pathways integrate regulatory outputs in Vibrios.
