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

Translation of the sigma factor RpoS is activated by DsrA, RprA and ArcA, three small non-coding sRNAs (sRNA) that expose the ribosome-binding site (RBS) by opening up an inhibitory loop. In the RpoS network, no sRNAs have been found to pair with the RBS, a most common sRNA target site in bacteria. Here, we generate Ribo-0, an artificial sRNA, which represses rpoS translation by pairing with the RBS. Ribo-0 bypasses the RNA chaperon Hfq but requires the RBS to be loosely blocked. Ribo-0 interacts with DsrA and reshapes the RpoS network. Specifically, in the intact RpoS network, DsrA activates rpoS translation by freeing up the RBS. In the modified RpoS network where Ribo-0 is introduced, the DsrA-caused RBS exposure facilitates Ribo-0 binding, thereby strengthening Ribo-0 inhibition. In other words, Ribo-0 changes DsrA from an activator to an accomplice for repressing rpoS translation. This work presents an artificial mechanism of rpoS regulation, reveals mutual effects of native and synthetic players and demonstrates genetic context-dependency of their functions.
