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

Translational fidelity is required for accurate flow of genetic information, but is frequently altered by genetic changes and environmental stresses. To date, little is known about how translational fidelity affects the virulence and host interactions of bacterial pathogens. Here we show that surprisingly, either decreasing or increasing translational fidelity impairs the interactions of the enteric pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium with host cells and its fitness in zebrafish. Host interactions are mediated by Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1). Our RNA sequencing and quantitative RT-PCR results demonstrate that SPI-1 genes are among the most down-regulated when translational fidelity is either increased or decreased. Further, this down-regulation of SPI-1 genes depends on the master regulator HilD, and altering translational fidelity destabilizes HilD protein via enhanced degradation by Lon protease. Our work thus reveals that optimal translational fidelity is pivotal for adaptation of Salmonella to the host environment, and provides important mechanistic insights into this process.
