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

Multiple antibiotic resistance regulator (MarR) family proteins are widely conserved transcription factors that control bacterial resistance to antibiotics, environmental stresses, as well as the regulation of virulence determinants. Escherichia coli MarR, the prototype member of this family, has recently been shown to undergo copper(II)-catalyzed inter-dimer disulfide bond formation via a unique cysteine residue (Cys80) residing in its DNA-binding domain. However, despite extensive structural characterization of the MarR family proteins, the structural mechanism for DNA binding of this copper(II)-sensing MarR factor remains elusive. Here, we report the crystal structures of DNA-bound forms of MarR, which revealed a unique, concerted generation of two new helix-loop-helix motifs that facilitated MarR's DNA binding. Structural analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) show that the flexibility of Gly116 in the center of helix α5 and the extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions at the N-terminus of helix α1 together assist the reorientation of the wHTH domains and stabilize MarR's DNA-bound conformation.
