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

The copper efflux regulator (CueR), a representative member of mercury resistance regulator (MerR) family metalloregulators, controls expression of copper homeostasis-regulating genes in bacteria. The mechanism of transcription activation by CueR and other MerR family regulators is bending the spacer domain of promoter DNA. Here, we report the cryo-EM structures of the intact CueR-dependent transcription activation complexes. The structures show that CueR dimer bends the 19-bp promoter spacer to realign the -35 and -10 elements for recognition by σ
