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

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) produces Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2). Nitric oxide (NO), which acts as an antimicrobial defense molecule, was found to enhance the production of Stx1 and Stx2 in EHEC under anaerobic conditions. Although EHEC O157 has two types of anaerobic NO reductase genes, an intact norV and a deleted norV, in the deleted norV-type EHEC, a high concentration of NO (12-29 μmol/L, maximum steady-state concentration) is required for enhanced Stx1 production and a low concentration of NO (~12 μmol/L, maximum steady-state concentration) is sufficient for enhanced Stx2 production under anaerobic conditions. These results suggested that different concentration thresholds of NO elicit a discrete set of Stx1 and Stx2 production pathways. Moreover, the enhancement of Shiga toxin production in the intact norV-type EHEC required treatment with a higher concentration of NO than was required for enhancement of Shiga toxin production in the deleted norV-type EHEC, suggesting that the specific NorV type plays an important role in the level of enhancement of Shiga toxin production in response to NO. Finally, Fur derepression and RecA activation in EHEC were shown to participate in the NO-enhanced Stx1 and Stx2 production, respectively.
