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

Carnocyclin A is a circular bacteriocin produced by Carnobacterium maltaromaticum UAL307. The carnocyclin A gene cluster cclBITCDAEFGH had been previously reported, and it was shown that transformation of C. maltaromaticum UAL26 with cclBITCDA resulted in immunity to, and low production of, carnocyclin A. Here, we demonstrate that full production of carnocyclin A in UAL26 transformants could be achieved when cclBITCDA was complemented with a second plasmid that contains cclEFGH. CclEFGH is a multicomponent ABC transporter that has similarity to As-48EFGH which is involved in the production of enterocin AS-48. Transformation of UAL26 containing cclBITCDA with deletion derivatives of cclEFGH did not increase the production of carnocyclin A, confirming the involvement of CclEFGH in bacteriocin production. Transformants of UAL26 containing cclEFGH showed a slight decrease in sensitivity to carnocyclin A, indicating that CclEFGH might also play a role in immunity.
