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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 encodes two outer membrane receptors, PhuR (Pseudomonas heme uptake) and HasR (heme assimilation system). The HasR and PhuR receptors have distinct heme coordinating ligands and substrate specificities. HasR is encoded in an operon with a secreted hemophore, HasAp. In contrast the non-hemophore-dependent PhuR is encoded within an operon along with proteins required for heme translocation into the cytoplasm. Herein we report on the contributions of the HasR and PhuR receptors to heme uptake and utilization. Employing bacterial genetics and isotopic [(13)C]heme labeling studies we have shown both PhuR and HasR are required for optimal heme utilization. However, the unique His-Tyr-ligated PhuR plays a major role in the acquisition of heme. In contrast the HasR receptor plays a primary role in the sensing of extracellular heme and a supplementary role in heme uptake. We propose PhuR and HasR represent non-redundant heme receptors, capable of accessing heme across a wide range of physiological conditions on colonization of the host.
