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

Zymomonas mobilis is a bacterium of industrial interest due to its high ethanol productivity and high tolerance to stresses. Although the physiological parameters of fermentation are well characterized, there are few studies on the molecular mechanisms that regulate the response to fermentative stress. Z. mobilis ZM4 presents five different sigma factors identified in the genome annotation, but the absence of sigma 38 leads to the questioning of which sigma factors are responsible for its mechanism of fermentative stress response. Thus, in this study, factors sigma 32 and sigma 24, traditionally related to heat shock, were tested for their influence on the response to osmotic and ethanol stress. The overexpression of these sigma factors in Z. mobilis ZM4 strain confirmed that both are associated with heat shock response, as described in other bacteria. Moreover, sigma 32 has also a role in the adaptation to osmotic stress, increasing both growth rate and glucose influx rate. The same strain that overexpresses sigma 32 also showed a decrease in ethanol tolerance, suggesting an antagonism between these two mechanisms. It was not possible to conclude if sigma 24 really affects ethanol tolerance in Z. mobilis, but the overexpression of this sigma factor led to a decrease in ethanol productivity.
