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

Psychrophilic bacteria, living at low and mild temperatures, can contribute significantly to our understanding of microbial responses to temperature, markedly occurring in the bacterial membrane. Here, a newly isolated strain, Pseudomonas sp. B14-6, was found to dynamically change its unsaturated fatty acid and cyclic fatty acid content depending on temperature which was revealed by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis. Genome sequencing yielded the sequences of the genes Δ-9-fatty acid desaturase (desA) and cyclopropane-fatty acid-acyl-phospholipid synthase (cfa). Overexpression of desA in Escherichia coli led to an increase in the levels of unsaturated fatty acids, resulting in decreased membrane hydrophobicity and increased fluidity. Cfa proteins from different species were all found to promote bacterial growth, despite their sequence diversity. In conclusion, PLFA analysis and genome sequencing unraveled the temperature-related behavior of Pseudomonas sp. B14-6 and the functions of two membrane-related enzymes. Our results shed new light on temperature-dependent microbial behaviors and might allow to predict the consequences of global warming on microbial communities.
