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

Helicobacter pylori NikR (HpNikR) is a nickel-dependent transcription factor that regulates multiple genes in the H. pylori pathogen. There are conflicting data regarding the locations of the Ni(II) sites and the role of Ni(II) coordination in DNA recognition. Herein, we report crystal structures of (i) the metal-binding domain (MBD) of HpNikR (3.08 Å) and (ii) a mutant, H74A (2.04 Å), designed to disrupt native Ni(II) coordination. In the MBD structure, four nickel ions are coordinated to two different types of nickel sites (4-coordinate, square planar, and 5/6-coordinate, square pyramidal/octahedral). In the H74A structure, all four nickel ions are coordinated to 4-coordinate square-planar sites. DNA-binding studies reveal tighter binding for target DNA sequences for holo-HpNikR compared with the affinities of Ni(II) reconstituted apo-HpNikR and H74A for these same DNA targets, supporting a role for Ni(II) coordination to 5/6 sites in DNA recognition. Small-angle X-ray scattering studies of holo-HpNikR and H74A reveal a high degree of conformational flexibility centered at the DNA-binding domains of H74A, which is consistent with disorder observed in the crystal structure of the protein. A model of DNA recognition by HpNikR is proposed in which Ni(II) coordination to specific sites in the MBD have a long-range effect on the flexibility of the DNA-binding domains and, consequently, the DNA recognition properties.
