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

Small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) with putative regulatory functions in gene expression have been identified in the enteropathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). Two sRNAs are encoded by the genomic island GEI4417/4436 responsible for myo-inositol (MI) degradation, suggesting a role in the regulation of this metabolic pathway. We show that a lack of the sRNA STnc2160, termed RssR, results in a severe growth defect in minimal medium (MM) with MI. In contrast, the second sRNA STnc1740 was induced in the presence of glucose, and its overexpression slightly attenuated growth in the presence of MI. Constitutive expression of RssR led to an increased stability of the reiD mRNA, which encodes an activator of iol genes involved in MI utilization, via interaction with its 5'-UTR. SsrB, a response regulator contributing to the virulence properties of salmonellae, activated rssR transcription by binding the sRNA promoter. In addition, the absence of the RNA chaperone Hfq resulted in strongly decreased levels of RssR, attenuated S. Typhimurium growth with MI, and reduced expression of several iol genes required for MI degradation. Considered together, the extrinsic RssR allows fine regulation of cellular ReiD levels and thus of MI degradation by acting on the reiD mRNA stability.
