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

A novel surfactin producer, Bacillus subtilis THY-7, was isolated from soil. Using liposomes and transmembrane transport inhibitors, the surfactin efflux in THY-7 was determined to be mainly dependent on proton motive force (PMF), not ATP hydrolysis. YcxA, KrsE and YerP, three putative lipopeptide transporters with PMF as energy source, were then highlighted in this work. A mutant YcxA named as YcxAmt, with 2 transmembrane helices deletion due to a code-shift mutation of the encoding gene, was identified in THY-7. This truncated YcxAmt was confirmed unable to transfer surfactin; on the contrary, overexpression of the natural full-lengthYcxA enhanced the secretion of surfactin by 89 %. KrsE, a putative kurstakin transporter, was found also capable of transporting surfactin. Overexpression of KrsE increased the production of surfactin by 52 %. In the culture of YerP-overexpressing strain at 24 h, surfactin titer reached 1.58 g L(-1), which was 145 % higher than that of the control. This indicated that YerP acted as the major surfactin exporter in B. subtilis THY-7.
