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

backgroundCorynebacterium glutamicum thrives under oxidative stress caused by the inevitably extreme environment during fermentation as it harbors antioxidative stress genes. Antioxidant genes are controlled by pathway-specific sensors that act in response to growth conditions. Although many families of oxidation-sensing regulators in C. glutamicum have been well described, members of the xenobiotic-response element (XRE) family, involved in oxidative stress, remain elusive.

resultsIn this study, we report a novel redox-sensitive member of the XER family, MsrR (multiple stress resistance regulator). MsrR is encoded as part of the msrR-3-mst (3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase) operon; msrR-3-mst is divergent from multidrug efflux protein MFS. MsrR was demonstrated to bind to the intergenic region between msrR-3-mst and mfs. This binding was prevented by an MsrR oxidation-mediated increase in MsrR dimerization. MsrR was shown to use Cys62 oxidation to sense oxidative stress, resulting in its dissociation from the promoter. Elevated expression of msrR-3-mst and mfs was observed under stress. Furthermore, a ΔmsrR mutant strain displayed significantly enhanced growth, while the growth of strains lacking either 3-mst or mfs was significantly inhibited under stress.

conclusionThis report is the first to demonstrate the critical role of MsrR-3-MST-MFS in bacterial stress resistance.
