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

Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces have a linear chromosome, with a core region and two 'arms'. During their complex life cycle, these bacteria develop multi-genomic hyphae that differentiate into chains of exospores that carry a single copy of the genome. Sporulation-associated cell division requires chromosome segregation and compaction. Here, we show that the arms of Streptomyces venezuelae chromosomes are spatially separated at entry to sporulation, but during sporogenic cell division they are closely aligned with the core region. Arm proximity is imposed by segregation protein ParB and condensin SMC. Moreover, the chromosomal terminal regions are organized into distinct domains by the Streptomyces-specific HU-family protein HupS. Thus, as seen in eukaryotes, there is substantial chromosomal remodelling during the Streptomyces life cycle, with the chromosome undergoing rearrangements from an 'open' to a 'closed' conformation.
