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

For infection, initial invasion of the host is of great importance, with adhesion playing a critical role. We previously demonstrated rstA and rstB are remarkably downregulated in Vibrio alginolyticus cultured under heavy metal and acidic stresses, with impaired adhesion, suggesting that rstA and rstB might be involved in adhesion regulation. The present study showed that rstA and rstB silencing resulted in impaired adhesion, biofilm production, motility, hemolysis, and virulence. Meanwhile, changes of temperature, starvation, and pH remarkably affected rstA and rstB expression. These findings indicated that (1) rstA and rstB are critical regulators of adhesion in V. alginolyticus; (2) rstA and rstB have remarkable effects on biofilm production, motility, hemolysis, and virulence in V. alginolyticus; (3) rstA and rstB modulate adhesion in response to environmental changes of temperature, pH, and starvation.
