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

Clostridium beijerinckii NRRL B-598 is a sporulating, butanol and hydrogen producing strain that utilizes carbohydrates by the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentative pathway. The pathway consists of two metabolic phases, acidogenesis and solventogenesis, from which the latter one can be coupled with sporulation. Thorough transcriptomic profiling during a complete life cycle and both metabolic phases completed with flow cytometry, microscopy and a metabolites analysis helped to find out key genes involved in particular cellular events. The description of genes/operons that are closely involved in metabolism or the cell cycle is a necessary condition for metabolic engineering of the strain and will be valuable for all C. beijerinckii strains and other Clostridial species. The study focused on glucose transport and catabolism, hydrogen formation, metabolic stress response, binary fission, motility/chemotaxis and sporulation, which resulted in the composition of the unique image reflecting clostridial population changes. Surprisingly, the main change in expression of individual genes was coupled with the sporulation start and not with the transition from acidogenic to solventogenic metabolism. As expected, solvents formation started at pH decrease and the accumulation of butyric and acetic acids in the cultivation medium.
