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

Bacteria are unicellular organisms that do not show compartmentalization of the genetic material and other cellular organelles as seen in higher organisms. Earlier, bacterial genomes were defined as single circular chromosome and extrachromosomal plasmids. Recently, many bacteria were found harbouringmultipartite genome system and the numbers of copies of genome elements including chromosomes vary from one to several per cell. Interestingly, it is noticed that majority of multipartite genome-harbouring bacteria are either stress tolerant or pathogens. Further, it is observed that the secondary genomes in these bacteria encode proteins that are involved in bacterial genome maintenance and also contribute to higher stress tolerance, and pathogenicity in pathogenic bacteria. Surprisingly, in some bacteria the genes encoding the proteins of classical homologous recombination pathways are present only on the secondary chromosomes, and some do not have either of the classical homologous recombination pathways. This review highlights the presence of ploidy and multipartite genomes in bacterial system, the underlying mechanisms of genome maintenance and the possibilities of these features contributing to higher abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in these bacteria.
