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

Enterobacter aerogenes LU2 was isolated from cow rumen and recognized as a potential succinic acid producer in our previous study. Here, we present the first complete genome sequence of this new, wild strain and report its basic genetic features from a biotechnological perspective. The MinION single-molecule nanopore sequencer supported by the Illumina MiSeq platform yielded a circular 5,062,651 bp chromosome with a GC content of 55% that lacked plasmids. A total of 4,986 genes, including 4,741 protein-coding genes, 22 rRNA-, 86 tRNA-, and 10 ncRNA-encoding genes and 127 pseudogenes, were predicted. The genome features of the studied strain and other Enterobacteriaceae strains were compared. Functional studies on the genome content, metabolic pathways, growth, and carbon transport and utilization were performed. The genomic analysis indicates that succinic acid can be produced by the LU2 strain through the reductive branch of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and the glyoxylate pathway. Antibiotic resistance genes were determined, and the potential for bacteriocin production was verified. Furthermore, one intact prophage region of length ~31,9 kb, 47 genomic islands (GIs) and many insertion sequences (ISs) as well as tandem repeats (TRs) were identified. No clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) were found. Finally, comparative genome analysis with well-known succinic acid producers was conducted. The genome sequence illustrates that the LU2 strain has several desirable traits, which confirm its potential to be a highly efficient platform for the production of bulk chemicals.
