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

To survive in the periodontal pocket, Porphyromonas gingivalis, the main causative agent of periodontal disease, must overcome oxidative and nitric oxide (NO) stress. Previously, we reported that, in the presence of NO comparable to stress conditions, the transcriptome of P. gingivalis was differentially expressed, and genes belonging to the PG1178-81 cluster were significantly upregulated. To further evaluate their role(s) in NO stress resistance, these genes were inactivated by allelic exchange mutagenesis. Isogenic mutants P. gingivalis FLL460 (ΔPG1181::ermF) and FLL461 (ΔPG1178-81::ermF) were black-pigmented, with gingipain and hemolytic activities comparable to that of the wild-type strain. Whereas the recovery of these isogenic mutants from NO stress was comparable to the wild-type, there was increased sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide-induced stress. RNA-Seq analysis under conditions of NO stress showed that approximately 5 and 8% of the genome was modulated in P. gingivalis FLL460 and FLL461, respectively. The PG1178-81 gene cluster was shown to be part of the same transcriptional unit and is inducible in response to NO stress. In the presence of NO, PG1181, a putative transcriptional regulator, was shown to bind to its own promoter region and that of several other NO responsive genes including PG0214 an extracytoplasmic function σ factor, PG0893 and PG1236. Taken together, the data suggest that PG1181 is a NO responsive transcriptional regulator that may play an important role in the NO stress resistance regulatory network in P. gingivalis.
