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

Type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are classically composed of two genes that encode a toxic protein and a cognate antitoxin protein. Both genes are organized in an operon whose expression is autoregulated at the level of transcription by the antitoxin-toxin complex, which binds operator DNA through the antitoxin's DNA-binding domain. Here, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of a particular TA system located in the immunity region of a cryptic lambdoid prophage in the Escherichia coli O157:H7 EDL933 strain. This noncanonical
