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

We investigated phenotypes of mutants of Methylotenera mobilis JLW8 with lesions in genes predicted to encode functions of the denitrification pathway, as well as mutants with mutations in methanol dehydrogenase-like structural genes xoxF1 and xoxF2, in order to obtain insights into denitrification and methanol metabolism by this bacterium. By monitoring the accumulation of nitrous oxide, we demonstrate that a periplasmic nitrate reductase, NAD(P)-linked and copper-containing nitrite reductases, and a nitric oxide reductase are involved in the denitrification pathway and that the pathway must be operational in aerobic conditions. However, only the assimilatory branch of the denitrification pathway was essential for growth on methanol in nitrate-supplemented medium. Mutants with mutations in each of the two xoxF genes maintained their ability to grow on methanol, but not the double XoxF mutant, suggesting that XoxF proteins act as methanol dehydrogenase enzymes in M. mobilis JLW8. Reduced levels of nitrous oxide accumulated by the XoxF mutants compared to the wild type suggest that these enzymes must be capable of donating electrons for denitrification.
