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

Psychrophilic and psychrotolerant bacteria from permanently cold environments may be the most abundant extremophiles on Earth and yet little is known on how they cope with temperature stress. Real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is a powerful technique that could shed light on this matter but it requires pre-validated reference genes for normalization of data to get accurate results. In this study, we assessed the expression stability of eight candidate genes for the psychrotolerant Antarctic isolate Pseudomonas sp. AU10 during exponential growth under 4 °C and 30 °C, and after a cold-shock. Using the software programs BestKeeper and geNorm we validated recA, ftsZ, 16S rRNA, and rpoD as reference genes and we suggested the combination of recA and ftsZ for qPCR data normalization. Our results provide a starting point for gene expression studies in Antarctic Pseudomonas concerning temperature-related physiology and also for the validation of reference genes in other cold-adapted bacterial species.
