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

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) synthesize magnetosomes composed of membrane-enveloped magnetite (Fe3O4) and/or greigite (Fe3S4) nanoparticles in the cells. It is known that the magnetotactic Deltaproteobacteria are ubiquitous and inhabit worldwide in the sediments of freshwater and marine environments. Mostly known MTB belonging to the Deltaproteobacteria are dissimilatory sulfate-reducing bacteria that biomineralize bullet-shaped magnetite nanoparticles, but only a few axenic cultures have been obtained so far. Here, we report the isolation, cultivation and characterization of a dissimilatory sulfate-reducing magnetotactic bacterium, which we designate "strain FSS-1". We found that the strain FSS-1 is a strict anaerobe and uses casamino acids as electron donors and sulfate as an electron acceptor to reduce sulfate to hydrogen sulfide. The strain FSS-1 produced bullet-shaped magnetite nanoparticles in the cells and responded to external magnetic fields. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain FSS-1 is a member of the genus Desulfovibrio, showing a 96.7% sequence similarity to Desulfovibrio putealis strain B7-43T. Futhermore, the magnetosome gene cluster of strain FSS-1 was different from that of Desulfovibrio magneticus strain RS-1. Thus, the strain FSS-1 is considered to be a novel sulfate-reducing magnetotactic bacterium belonging to the genus Desulfovibrio.
