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

Synechocystis sp strain PCC 6803 contains one gene encoding a putative large conductance mechanosensitive channel homolog [named SyMscL (slr0875)]. However, it is unclear whether SyMscL contributes to the adaptation to hypoosmotic stress in Synechocystis. Here we report the in vivo characteristics of SyMscL. SyMscL was mainly expressed in the plasma membrane of Synechocystis. Cell volume monitoring using stopped-flow spectrophotometry showed that ΔsymscL cells swelled more rapidly than wild-type cells under hypoosmotic stress conditions. Expression of symscL was under circadian control, and its peak corresponded to the beginning of subjective night. These results indicate that SyMscL functioned as one component of the osmotic homeostatic regulatory system of the cell coordinating the response of Synechocystis to daily metabolic osmotic fluctuations and environmental changes.
