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

Organic hydroperoxide reductase regulator (OhrR) in bacteria is a sensor for organic hydroperoxide stress and a transcriptional regulator for the enzyme organic hydroperoxide reductase (Ohr). In this study we investigated, using a GFP reporter system, whether Mycobacterium smegmatis OhrR has the ability to sense and respond to intracellular organic hydroperoxide stress. It was observed that M. smegmatis strains bearing the pohr-gfpuv fusion construct were able to express GFP only in the absence of an intact ohrR gene, but not in its presence. However, GFP expression in the strain bearing pohr-gfpuv with an intact ohrR gene could be induced by organic hydroperoxides in vitro and in the intracellular environment upon ingestion of the bacteria by macrophages; indicating that OhrR responds not only to in vitro but also to intracellular organic hydroperoxide stress. Further, the intracellular expression of pohr driven GFP in this strain could be abolished by replacing the intact ohrR gene with a mutant ohrR gene modified for N-terminal Cysteine (Cys) residue, suggesting that OhrR senses intracellular organic hydroperoxides through Cys residue. This is the first report demonstrating the ability of OhrR to sense intracellular organic hydroperoxides.
