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

This study was undertaken to determine whether cyclic AMP (cAMP) or cAMP-receptor protein (CRP) modulates the activity of the autoinducer (AI)-2-mediated quorum sensing (QS) system in response to glucose availability in Vibrio vulnificus. A mutation in crp impaired V. vulnificus growth, decreased AI-2 production, and repressed the expression of smcR encoding the master regulator SmcR (a Vibrio harveyi LuxR homolog) of the AI-2-QS system, and these changes were prevented by in trans complementation of wild-type crp. Furthermore, glucose repressed smcR expression in the presence of CRP but not in its absence. A mutation in cyaA encoding adenylate cyclase, which is required for cAMP synthesis, also impaired V. vulnificus growth and repressed smcR expression, and these changes were recovered by in trans complementation of wild-type cyaA. These results indicate that cAMP or CRP modulates the AI-2-QS system in response to glucose availability in V. vulnificus, demonstrating the presence of a connection between catabolite repression and quorum sensing in V. vulnificus.
