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

Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of plague. Both cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) and PhoP are involved in regulating virulence-related genes in Y. pestis. The phoPQ loci are transcribed as two distinct operons, YPO1635-phoPQ-YPO1632 and phoPQ-YPO1632. In the present work, the regulation of the first operon by CRP was investigated using primer extension, LacZ fusion, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and DNase I footprinting assays. The results showed that CRP bound to a DNA region overlapping core promoter -10 element and transcription start of YPO1635 to repress the expression of YPO1635-phoPQ-YPO1632. Taken together with our previous results, complex regulatory interactions of CRP-AMP and PhoP/PhoQ were proposed in Y. pestis, which would contribute to tightly controlled expression of virulence-related genes.
