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

We characterized the global transcriptome of Escherichia coli MG1655:: tetA grown in the presence of ½ MIC (14 mg/L) of OTC, and for comparison WT MG1655 strain grown with 1//2 MIC of OTC (0.25 mg/L OTC). 1646 genes changed expression significantly (FDR > 0.05) in the resistant strain, the majority of which (1246) were also regulated in WT strain. Genes involved in purine synthesis and ribosome structure and function were top-enriched among up-regulated genes, and anaerobic respiration, nitrate metabolism and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis genes among down-regulated genes. Blocking of the purine-synthesis- did not affect resistance phenotypes (MIC and growth rate with OTC), while blocking of protein synthesis using low concentrations of chloramphenicol or gentamicin, lowered MIC towards OTC. Metabolic-modeling, using a novel model for MG1655 and continuous weighing factor that reflected the degree of up or down regulation of genes encoding a reaction, identified 102 metabolic reactions with significant change in flux in MG1655:: tetA when grown in the presence of OTC compared to growth without OTC. These pathways could not have been predicted by simply analyzing functions of the up and down regulated genes, and thus this work has provided a novel method for identification of reactions which are essential in the adaptation to growth in the presence of antimicrobials.
