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

While many data are available on genes encoding proteins for degradation of hydrocarbons in bacteria, the impact of alkane on transporter protein expression is unclear. Pseudomonas aeruginosa SJTD-1 is a strain that can consume medium- and long-chain n-alkanes. In order to study the proteins involved in n-octadecane uptake, we use iTRAQ and label free comparative proteomics analysis to identify the proteins of alkane uptake in response to n-octadecane (C18) comparing with n-hexadecane (C16) in P. aeruginosa SJTD-1. A total of 1102 and 1249 proteins were identified by iTRAQ-based and label free quantitative methodologies, respectively. By application of 1.5 (iTRAQ) or 2-fold (label free) for upregulated and 0.65 (iTRAQ) or 0.5-fold (label free) for downregulated cutoff values, 91 and 99 proteins were found to be differentially expressed comparing SJTD-1 cultivated on C18 with C16 respectively. There are six proteins with the common differential expression by iTRAQ and label free-based methods. Results of bioinformational analysis suggested the involvement of bacterial chemotaxis in responds to C18. Additionally, quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) results confirmed C18-induced change in levels of FleQ, FliC, NirS, FadL and FadD proteins and the role of the proteins in n-octadecane uptake was further discussed in P. aeruginosa. In conclusion, results of the present study provided information about possible target-related proteins of bacterial chemotaxis, swimming performance, alkane transport to stimulus of n-ctadecane rather than n-hexadecane in P. aeruginosa SJTD-1.
