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

Bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) are protein organelles that typically house toxic or volatile reaction intermediates involved in metabolic pathways. Engineering bacteria to express exogenous MCPs will allow these cells to gain useful functions involving molecule compartmentalization. We cloned a 38 kb region from the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium genome containing the pdu 1,2 propanediol (1,2 PD) utilization and cob/cbi genes using the FRT-Capture strategy to clone and transfer large genomic segments. We transferred this clone to a range of Gram-negative bacteria and found the clone to be functional for 1,2 PD metabolism in a variety of species including S. Typhimurium Δpdu, Escherichia coli, Salmonella bongori, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Cronobacter sakazakii, Serratia marcescens, and different Pseudomonas species. We successfully isolated MCPs expressed from the clone from several, but not all, of these strains, and we observed this utilizing a range of different media and in the absence of protease inhibitor. We also present a mini-prep protocol that allows rapid, small-scale screening of strains for MCP production. To date, this is the first analysis of cloned, exogenous microcompartment expression across several different Gram-negative backgrounds and provides a foundation for MCP use in a variety of bacterial species using a full, intact clone.
