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

The genes encoding Hfq-dependent sRNAs possess a typical Rho-independent transcription terminator. Here, we have studied the molecular events occurring at Rho-independent terminators of sRNA genes, focusing on two well-characterized Hfq-binding sRNAs, SgrS and RyhB. We constructed several hybrid genes in which the DNA sequence corresponding to a strong Rho-independent terminator was placed just downstream from the Rho-independent terminators of sRNA genes. By using this system, we demonstrate that transcripts frequently read through the Rho-independent terminators of sgrS and ryhB in normally growing cells. We show that Hfq does not affect the transcriptional readthrough event itself. We also find that the readthrough products no longer bind to Hfq in vivo. We have developed a competition assay based on a biotin-streptavidin system to analyze the interaction of Hfq and a particular RNA molecule in vitro. By using this method, we verify that the 3'-extended form of SgrS does not bind to Hfq in vitro. Finally, we demonstrate that transcription termination is significantly enhanced under stress conditions where transcription initiation of sRNA genes on the chromosome is induced. We conclude that the production of sRNAs is regulated not only at the step of transcription initiation but also at the step of transcription termination. The mechanism by which transcription termination is enhanced under stress conditions remains to be understood.
