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

Shewanella, a group of ubiquitous bacteria renowned for respiratory versatility, thrive in environments where various electron acceptors (EAs) of different chemical and physiological characteristics coexist. Despite being extensively studied, we still know surprisingly little about strategies by which multiple EAs and their interaction define ecophysiology of these bacteria. Previously, we showed that nitrite inhibits growth of the genus representative Shewanella oneidensis on fumarate and presumably some other CymA (quinol dehydrogenase)-dependent EAs by reducing cAMP production, which in turn leads to lowered expression of nitrite and fumarate reductases. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibition of fumarate growth by nitrite is also attributable to overproduction of NapB, the cytochrome c subunit of nitrate reductase. Further investigations revealed that excessive NapB per se inhibits growth on all EAs tested, including oxygen. When overproduced, NapB acts as an electron shuttle to dissipate electrons of the quinol pool, likely to extracellullar EAs, because the Mtr system, the major electron transport pathway for extracellular electron transport, is implicated. The study not only sheds light on mechanisms by which certain EAs, especially toxic ones, impact the bacterial ecophysiology, but also provides new insights into how electron shuttle c-type cytochromes regulate multi-branched respiratory networks.
