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

Mycobacteria are obligate aerobes and respire using two terminal respiratory oxidases, an aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase and a cytochrome bd-type menaquinol oxidase. Cytochrome bd is encoded by cydAB from the cydABDC gene cluster that is conserved throughout the mycobacterial genus. Here we report that cydAB and cydDC in Mycobacterium smegmatis constitute two separate operons under hypoxic growth conditions. The transcriptional start sites of both operons were mapped, and a series of cydA-lacZ and cydD-lacZ transcriptional reporter fusions were made to identify regulatory promoter elements. A 51-bp region was identified in the cydAB promoter that was required for maximal cydA-lacZ expression in response to hypoxia. A cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP)-binding site (viz. GTGAN6CCACC) was identified in this region, and mutation of this site to CCCAN6CTTTC abolished cydA-lacZ expression in response to hypoxia. Binding of purified CRP (MSMEG_0539) to the cydAB promoter DNA was analyzed using electrophoretic mobility shift assays. CRP binding was dependent on GTGAN6CCACC and showed cyclic AMP (cAMP) dependency. No CRP site was present in the cydDC promoter, and a 10-bp inverted repeat (CGGTGGTACCGGTACCACCG) was required for maximal cydD-lacZ expression. Taken together, the data indicate that CRP is a direct regulator of cydAB expression in response to hypoxia and that the regulation of cydDC expression is CRP independent and under the control of an unknown regulator.
