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

Bacteria can change its lifestyle during inhabiting in host niches where they survive and replicate by rapidly altering gene expression pattern to accommodate the new environment. In this study, two novel regulators in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) were identified and designated as AutA and AutR. RT-PCR and β-galactosidase assay results showed that AutA and AutR co-regulated the expression of adhesin UpaB in APEC strain DE205B. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that AutA and AutR could directly bind the upaB promoter DNA. In vitro transcription assay indicated that AutA could activate the upaB transcription, while AutR inhibited the upaB transcription due to directly suppressing the activating effect of AutA on UpaB expression. Transcriptome analysis showed that AutA and AutR coherently affected the expression of hundreds of genes. Our study confirmed that AutA and AutR co-regulated the expression of DE205B K1 capsule and acid resistance systems in E. coli acid fitness island (AFI). Moreover, phenotypic heterogeneity in expression of K1 capsule and acid resistance systems in AFI during host-pathogen interaction was associated with the regulation of AutA and AutR. Collectively speaking, our studies presented that AutA and AutR are involved in APEC adaptive lifestyle change to facilitate its infection.
