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

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium utilizes molecular hydrogen as a substrate in various respiratory pathways, via H2-uptake enzymes termed Hya, Hyb, and Hyd. A different hydrogenase, the hydrogen-evolving Hyc enzyme, removes excess reductant during fermentative growth. Virulence phenotypes conferred by mutations in hyc genes, either alone or in combination with mutations in the H2-uptake enzyme genes, are addressed. Anaerobically grown ΔhycB or ΔhycC single-deletion strains were more sensitive to acid than the wild-type strain, but the Δhyc strains were like the virulent parent strain with respect to both mouse morbidity and mortality and in organ burden numbers. Even fecal-recovery numbers for both mutant strains at several time points prior to the animals succumbing to salmonellosis were like those seen with the parent. Neither hydrogen uptake nor evolution of the gas was detected in a hydrogenase quadruple-mutant strain containing deletions in the hya, hyb, hyd, and hyc genes. As previously described, a strain lacking all H2-uptake ability was severely attenuated in its virulence characteristics, and the quadruple-mutant strain had the same (greatly attenuated) phenotype. While H2 levels were greatly reduced in ceca of mice treated with antibiotics, both the ΔhycB and ΔhycC strains were still like the parent in their ability to cause typhoid salmonellosis. It seems that the level of H2 produced by the pathogen (through formate hydrogen lyase [FHL] and Hyc) is insignificant in terms of providing respiratory reductant to facilitate either organ colonization or contributions to gut growth leading to pathogenesis.
