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

Mercury (Hg) methylation is mainly a microbial process mediated by anaerobes. The continued study of Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) strain TGRB4 genome was inspired by the fact that it can transform Hg into the highly toxic methylmercury (MeHg) under aerobic conditions. P. putida strain TGRB4 is a Gram-negative rod-shaped Gamma-proteobacterium (γ-proteobacterium), isolated from the soil in a typical water level fluctuation zone (WLFZ) of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), which suffered from seasonally water level alternations every year. Draft genome assembly of P. putida strain TGRB4 is presented here, which was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq and PacBio single-molecule real-time (SMRT) platforms. Its genome harbors a total of 5504 genes and a G + C content of 62.6%. We further identified the enzymes related to Hg methylation, and found two well-known methyltransferase, including 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-methyl-THF) and S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), were annotated in the genome of P. putida strain TGRB4. This genome information could be treated as a research material to further study the Hg methylation mechanisms under aerobic environment.
