Genetic examination of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea and effects of its metamorphosis-inducing factors.

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.
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
Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea is a globally distributed marine bacterium that stimulates the metamorphosis of marine animal larvae, an important bacteria-animal interaction that can promote the recruitment of animals to benthic ecosystems. Recently, different P. luteoviolacea isolates have been shown to produce two stimulatory factors that can induce tubeworm and coral metamorphosis; Metamorphosis-Associated Contractile structures (MACs) and tetrabromopyrrole (TBP) respectively. However, it remains unclear what proportion of P. luteoviolacea isolates possess the genes encoding MACs, and what phenotypic effect MACs and TBP have on other larval species. Here, we show that 9 of 19 sequenced P. luteoviolacea genomes genetically encode both MACs and TBP. While P. luteoviolacea biofilms producing MACs stimulate the metamorphosis of the tubeworm Hydroides elegans, TBP biosynthesis genes had no effect under the conditions tested. Although MACs are lethal to larvae of the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiologicarpus, P. luteoviolacea mutants unable to produce MACs are capable of stimulating metamorphosis. Our findings reveal a hidden complexity of interactions between a single bacterial species, the factors it produces and two species of larvae belonging to different phyla.
