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

During the translation process, transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to ribosomes for protein synthesis. Each codon of mRNA is recognized by a specific tRNA, and enzyme-catalysed modifications to tRNA regulate translation. TtcA is a unique tRNA-thiolating enzyme that requires an iron-sulfur ([Fe-S]) cluster to catalyse thiolation of tRNA. In this study, the physiological functions of a putative ttcA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human pathogen that causes serious problems in hospitals, were characterized. A P. aeruginosa ttcA-deleted mutant was constructed, and mutant cells were rendered hypersensitive to oxidative stress, such as hydrogen peroxide (H
