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

The interactions of pathogens and phagocytes are complex. Our study demonstrated that Aeromonas hydrophila B11 can survive in the macrophagocytes of Tilapia mossambica. To explore the regulatory processes of A. hydrophila survival in the macrophagocytes, we used the mini-Tn10 transposon mutagenesis system to build a mutant library by mixing Escherichia coli Sm10 (pLOFKm) and A. hydrophila B11. In total, 102 mutant colonies were detected, and 11 of them showed reduced survival in macrophagocytes. The mutant with the most severe phenotype, AM73, was chosen for further research. The ORF interrupted by mini-Tn10 in AM73 was approximately 960 bp and was deposited in GenBank with the accession number SRP049226. The 319 amino acid protein encoded by the ORF showed a high degree of identity (89%) with proteins in the histone deacetylase/AcuC/AphA family of A. hydrophila subsp. hydrophila ATCC7966. A strain (AC73) in which the acuC mutation was complemented was constructed by generating the recombinant expression plasmid pACYC184-acuC and introducing it into the AM73 mutant strain. Our experiments revealed that strain AM73 was deficient in biofilm formation, adhesion, survival in macrophagocytes, and virulence compared with A. hydrophila B11, and all of these biological properties were improved in strain AC73. The expression of 10 significant virulence genes was significantly inhibited in strain AM73. The results indicated that AcuC was an important regulatory protein contributing to the pathogenicity of A. hydrophila.
