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

backgroundAcid stress is often encountered during industrial fermentation as a result of the accumulation of acidic metabolites. Acid stress increases the intracellular acidity and can cause DNA damage and denaturation of essential enzymes, thus leading to a decrease of growth and fermentation yields. Although acid stress can be relieved by addition of a base to the medium, fermentations with acid-tolerant strains are generally considered much more efficient and cost-effective.

resultsIn this study, the global regulator H-NS was found to have significant influence on the acid tolerance of E. coli. The final OD

conclusionsThe results obtained in this work demonstrate that the engineering of H-NS can enhance the acid tolerance of E. coli. More in general, this study shows the potential of the engineering of global regulators acting as repressors, such as H-NS, as a promising method to obtain phenotypes of interest. This approach could expand the spectrum of application of global transcription machinery engineering.
