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

Alkaline phosphatases (APases) play a crucial role in phosphorus (P) metabolism and regulation, but their physiological functions largely remain unclear in cyanobacteria. Here, we identified four putative APase genes, designated as phoA-709, phoD1-709, phoD2-709, and phoS-709, in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. FACHB 709, and investigated their response to inorganic phosphate (P(i)) starvation. With the exception of phoD2-709, three other APase genes were expressed at a constant and relative low level in P(i)-replete medium, whereas the expression of all four APase genes was elevated in response to P(i) starvation but phoA-709 significantly. However, disruption of phoA-709 did not affect the total APase activity but caused the expressional up-regulation of phoD1-709 and phoS-709 under P(i)-sufficient and P(i)-limiting conditions. These suggest that, the four APases of Anabaena sp. FACHB 709 are involved in P metabolism and regulation, and PhoA-709 is the main, yet dispensable, APase.
