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

C-tail anchored inner membrane proteins are a family of proteins that contain a C-terminal transmembrane domain but lack an N-terminal signal sequence for membrane targeting. They are widespread in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and play critical roles in membrane traffic, apoptosis and protein translocation in eukaryotes. Recently, we identified and characterized in Escherichia coli a new C-tail anchored inner membrane, ElaB, which is regulated by the stationary phase sigma factor RpoS. ElaB is important for resistance to oxidative stress but the exact mechanism is unclear. Here, we show that ElaB functions as part of the adaptive oxidative stress response by maintaining membrane integrity. Production of ElaB is induced by oxidative stress at the transcriptional level. Moreover, elaB expression is also regulated by the key regulator OxyR via an OxyR binding site in the promoter of elaB. OxyR induces the expression of elaB in the exponential growth phase, while excess OxyR reduces elaB expression in an RpoS-dependent way in the stationary phase. In addition, deletion of elaB reduced fitness compared to wild-type cells after prolonged incubation. Therefore, we determined how ElaB is regulated under oxidative stress: RpoS and OxyR coordinately control the expression of inner membrane protein ElaB.
