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

Here we study the influence of the putative fatty acid biosynthesis (FAB) regulator FabT (originally called RmaG [Llmg_1788]) on gene transcription in Lactococcus lactis MG1363. A strain with a knockout mutation of the putative regulator was constructed, and its transcriptome was compared to that of the wild-type strain. Almost all FAB genes were significantly upregulated in the knockout. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and DNase I footprinting, the binding motif of the regulator and the binding locations in the genome were characterized. Fatty acid composition analysis revealed that a strain lacking FabT contained significantly more saturated acyl chains in its phospholipids. This observation demonstrates that the vital pathway of FAB in L. lactis is regulated by the repressor FabT.
