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

Klebsiella pneumoniae PmrA is a polymyxin-resistance-associated response regulator. The C-terminal effector/DNA-binding domain of PmrA (PmrAC) recognizes tandem imperfect repeat sequences on the promoters of genes to induce antimicrobial peptide resistance after phosphorylation and dimerization of its N-terminal receiver domain (PmrAN). However, structural information concerning how phosphorylation of the response regulator enhances DNA recognition remains elusive. To gain insights, we determined the nuclear magnetic resonance solution structure of PmrAC and characterized the interactions between PmrAC or BeF3(-)-activated full-length PmrA (PmrAF) and two DNA sequences from the pbgP promoter of K. pneumoniae. We showed that PmrAC binds to the PmrA box, which was verified to contain two half-sites, 5'-CTTAAT-3' and 5'-CCTAAG-3', in a head-to-tail fashion with much stronger affinity to the first than the second site without cooperativity. The structural basis for the PmrAC-DNA complex was investigated using HADDOCK docking and confirmed by paramagnetic relaxation enhancement. Unlike PmrAC, PmrAF recognizes the two sites simultaneously and specifically. In the PmrAF-DNA complex, PmrAN may maintain an activated homodimeric conformation analogous to that in the free form and the interactions between two PmrAC molecules aid in bending and binding of the DNA duplex for transcription activation.
