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

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) is the causative agent of human typhoid fever. S. Typhi expresses a major virulence determinant called Vi polysaccharide capsular antigen, which is encoded by the viaB locus containing 10 consecutive genes including tviA and tviB. Expression of Vi antigen is regulated by the two-component regulatory system EnvZ/OmpR and the global RNA-binding factor Hfq. In this study, we show that OmpR coordinates with Hfq to regulate the transcription of Vi antigen genes under osmotic stress conditions. OmpR binds to the promoters of tviA and its own genes to activate their transcription; however, it positively regulates tviB and negatively regulates hfq in an indirect manner. Moreover, Hfq reversely inhibits ompR, tviA and tviB, and positively regulates its own gene expression. Thus, we report of a complex gene regulatory network involving the reciprocal regulation and autoregulation of OmpR and Hfq, and their regulatory actions on Vi polysaccharide capsular antigen genes in S. Typhi.
