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

Listeria monocytogenes PdxR is a member of the poorly characterized but widespread group of MocR/GabR-type chimeric bacterial proteins that have DNA-binding and aminotransferase-like domains. Using mutational analysis, real-time RT-PCR, transcriptional fusions, gel-shift assays, DNase I footprinting, and in vitro transcription, it was shown that PdxR is a direct activator of the pdxST operon, transcribed divergently from pdxR and responsible for the de novo synthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the major active form of vitamin B6 . PLP acts as an anti-activator of PdxR and is the only effector required to reduce the activity of PdxR. PdxR is also a negative autoregulator, and its ability to repress is increased by PLP. A dyad-symmetry sequence, which overlaps the -35 region of the pdxS promoter and lies downstream of the pdxR transcription start point, serves as an important element of the PdxR binding site. Unexpectedly, some mutations in this activator binding site, disrupting the dyad-symmetry element, caused constitutive, B6 -independent expression from the pdxS promoter. The data suggest that PdxR-like proteins, for which PLP plays just a signalling role, form a separate functional group among the MocR/GabR-type proteins.
