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

SR1 is a dual-function sRNA that acts as a base-pairing regulatory RNA on the ahrC mRNA and as a peptide-encoding mRNA on the gapA operon. The SR1-encoded peptide SR1P binds GapA thereby stabilizing gapA mRNA. Under glycolytic conditions, SR1 transcription is repressed by CcpN and CcpA. A computer-based search identified 23 SR1 homologues in Bacillus, Geobacillus, Anoxybacillus and Brevibacillus species. All homologues share a high structural identity with Bacillus subtilis SR1, and the encoded SR1P peptides are highly similar. In the Bacillus cereus group, the sr1p region is present in triplicate or duplicate resulting in longer SR1 species. In all cases, sr1 expression is under control of CcpN, and transcriptional lacZ fusions of nine examined SR1 homologues were sensitive to glucose. Two homologues showed an additional glucose-independent repression by CcpN and an unknown factor. A total of 10 out of 11 tested SR1P homologues complemented a B. subtilis Δsr1 strain in their ability to stabilize gapA mRNA, but only five of them bound GapA tightly. In vitro binding assays with six SR1/ahrC pairs suggest that-despite divergent primary sequences-the base-pairing function is also preserved. In summary, SR1 is an sRNA with two functions that have been conserved over ≈1 billion years.
