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 are prolific producers of specialized metabolites, including antibiotics. The linear chromosome includes a central region harboring core genes, as well as extremities enriched in specialized metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters. Here, we show that chromosome structure in Streptomyces ambofaciens correlates with genetic compartmentalization during exponential phase. Conserved, large and highly transcribed genes form boundaries that segment the central part of the chromosome into domains, whereas the terminal ends tend to be transcriptionally quiescent compartments with different structural features. The onset of metabolic differentiation is accompanied by a rearrangement of chromosome architecture, from a rather 'open' to a 'closed' conformation, in which highly expressed specialized metabolite biosynthetic genes form new boundaries. Thus, our results indicate that the linear chromosome of S. ambofaciens is partitioned into structurally distinct entities, suggesting a link between chromosome folding, gene expression and genome evolution.
