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

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a moderately halophilic, salt-requiring organism that exhibits optimal growth at approximately 3% salt. Thus, salinity stress is one of the most important stimuli during its lifecycle. The bacterium possesses a strong ability to form biofilms on surfaces, which are thought to be involved in protecting it from adverse environmental conditions. In the present study, salinity-dependent biofilm formation by V. parahaemolyticus was investigated by combining crystal violet staining, colony morphology, intracellular c-di-GMP quantification and quantitative PCR. The results showed that biofilm formation by V. parahaemolyticus was significantly enhanced in low salinity growth conditions and was affected by incubation time. In addition, low salinity reduced intracellular c-di-GMP degradation in V. parahaemolyticus. Transcription of genes encoding ScrABC and ScrG proteins, which are involved in intracellular c-di-GMP metabolism, was inhibited by low salinity growth conditions. Thus, reduced intracellular c-di-GMP degradation in V. parahaemolyticus in low salinity growth conditions may be mediated by repression of scrG and scrABC transcription. Taken together, these results demonstrated for the first time that salinity regulates biofilm formation and c-di-GMP production in V. parahaemolyticus.
