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

Growth of Streptomyces in submerged culture is characterized by the formation of complex mycelial particles, known as pellets or clumps, which strongly influence antibiotic production. Also, many bioactive molecules produced by Streptomyces have great potential to modulate soil bacteria morphological development. However, there has been no effort directed at engineering mycelial morphology using these small molecules. Here, thiostrepton was identified, using a combination of qRT-PCR, semi-preparative HPLC, and MALDI-TOF MS, as a pellet-inducing compound produced by S. laurentii ATCC31255. At sub-inhibitory concentration, thiostrepton stimulated Streptomyces coelicolor M145 pellet formation and antibiotics production were altered, with 3-fold and 2-fold decreases in actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin yields, respectively. It was also shown that mycelial morphology can be influenced by other antibiotic class at sub-inhibitory concentrations. For instance, in the presence of spectinomycin, S. coelicolor M145, which under typical growth conditions forms large diameter pellets with many protruding hyphae, instead formed small diameter pellets with barely visible hyphae at the edge. Importantly, this morphology produced a 4-fold increase in undecylprodigiosin production and 3-fold decrease in actinorhodin production. These results indicated that these small molecules, previously identified as antimicrobials, also have great potential for influencing mycelial morphology.
