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

HspR is a repressor known to control expression of heat shock operons in a number of Eubacteria. In mycobacteria and in several other actinobacteria, this protein is synthesized from the dnaKJE-hspR operon. Previous investigations revealed that HspR binds to the operon promoter, thereby controlling its expression in an autoregulatory manner. DnaK, which is a product of the same operon, further aids this autoregulatory process by stimulating the operator binding activity of HspR. The molecular mechanism by which DnaK assists HspR in executing its function is not clearly understood. In this study, it has been shown that DnaK can augment DNA binding activity of HspR by two mechanisms: (i) DnaK can restore the activity of completely denatured HspR by forming a complex with it, and (ii) DnaK can prevent thermal instability of HspR renatured by other means. Unlike the first mechanism, the latter function does not involve complex formation. The C-terminal hydrophobic tail of HspR was found to play a significant role in determining its thermal stability and DnaK dependence properties. A deletion mutant in which this region is removed does not respond to thermal stress and functions independent of DnaK. The hydrophobic C-terminal tails of HspRs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and related Actinomycetales therefore may have evolved to make these HspRs more sensitive to thermal stress and, at the same time, subject to regulation by DnaK.
