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

Pseudomonas donghuensis HYS is the type strain of a recently identified species, P. donghuensis, which has pathogenic potential with an unclear virulence mechanism. In this study, we used Caenorhabditis elegans as a host to explore the virulence mechanism of P. donghuensis HYS. Based on a correlation between P. donghuensis HYS virulence and its repellence property, we identified 68 potential virulence-related genes, among them the Cbr/Crc system, which regulates the virulence of prokaryotic microorganisms. Slow-killing assays indicated that cbrA, cbrB, or specific sRNA-encoding genes all affected P. donghuensis virulence positively, whereas crc affected it negatively. Transcriptome analyses demonstrated that the Cbr/Crc system played an important role in the pathogenesis of P. donghuensis. In addition, experiments using the worm mutant KU25 pmk-1(km25) showed a correlation between P. donghuensis HYS virulence and the PMK-1/p38 MAPK pathway in C. elegans. In conclusion, our data show that Crc plays a novel role in the Cbr/Crc system, and the P. donghuensis virulence phenotype therefore differs from that of P. aeruginosa. This process also involves C. elegans innate immunity. These findings significantly increase the available information about Cbr/Crc-based virulence mechanisms in the genus Pseudomonas.
