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

significanceThe molecule nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to regulate behaviors in bacteria, including biofilm formation. NO detection and signaling in bacteria is typically mediated by hemoproteins such as the bis-(3',5')-cyclic dimeric adenosine monophosphate-specific phosphodiesterase YybT, the transcriptional regulator dissimilative nitrate respiration regulator, or heme-NO/oxygen binding (H-NOX) domains. H-NOX domains are well-characterized primary NO sensors that are capable of detecting nanomolar NO and influencing downstream signal transduction in many bacterial species. However, many bacteria, including the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respond to nanomolar concentrations of NO but do not contain an annotated H-NOX domain, indicating the existence of an additional nanomolar NO-sensing protein (NosP). Recent Advances: A newly discovered bacterial hemoprotein called NosP may also act as a primary NO sensor in bacteria, in addition to, or in place of, H-NOX. NosP was first described as a regulator of a histidine kinase signal transduction pathway that is involved in biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa. CRITICAL ISSUES: The molecular details of NO signaling in bacteria are still poorly understood. There are still many bacteria that are NO responsive but do encode either H-NOX or NosP domains in their genomes. Even among bacteria that encode H-NOX or NosP, many questions remain. FUTURE DIRECTIONS: The molecular mechanisms of NO regulation in many bacteria remain to be established. Future studies are required to gain knowledge about the mechanism of NosP signaling. Advancements on structural and molecular understanding of heme-based sensors in bacteria could lead to strategies to alleviate or control bacterial biofilm formation or persistent biofilm-related infections.
