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

The Gram-negative soil-borne bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum first infects roots of host plants and then invades xylem vessels. In xylem vessels, the bacteria grow vigorously and produce exopolysaccharides (EPSs) to cause a wilt symptom on host plants. The EPSs are thus the main virulence factors of R. solanacearum. The strain OE1-1 of R. solanacearum produces methyl 3-hydroxymyristate as a quorum-sensing (QS) signal, and senses this QS signal, activating QS. The QS-activated LysR-type transcriptional regulator PhcA induces the production of virulence-related metabolites including ralfuranone and the major EPS, EPS I. To elucidate the function of EPS I, the transcriptomes of R. solanacearum strains were analysed using RNA sequencing technology. The expression of 97.2% of the positively QS-regulated genes was down-regulated in the epsB-deleted mutant ΔepsB, which lost its EPS I productivity. Furthermore, expression of 98.0% of the negatively QS-regulated genes was up-regulated in ΔepsB. The deficiency to produce EPS I led to a significantly suppressed ralfuranone productivity and significantly enhanced swimming motility, which are suppressed by QS, but did not affect the expression levels of phcA and phcB, which encode a methyltransferase required for methyl 3-hydroxymyristate production. Overall, QS-dependently produced EPS I may be associated with the feedback loop of QS.
