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

Myxococcus xanthus has a nutrient-regulated biphasic life cycle forming predatory swarms in the presence of nutrients and spore-filled fruiting bodies in the absence of nutrients. The second messenger 3'-5', 3'-5 cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is essential during both stages of the life cycle; however, different enzymes involved in c-di-GMP synthesis and degradation as well as several c-di-GMP receptors are important during distinct life cycle stages. To address this stage specificity, we determined transcript levels using transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and transcription start sites using Cappable sequencing (Cappable-seq) during growth and development genome wide. All 70 genes encoding c-di-GMP-associated proteins were expressed, with 28 upregulated and 10 downregulated during development. Specifically, the three genes encoding enzymatically active proteins with a stage-specific function were expressed stage specifically. By combining operon mapping with published chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data for MrpC (M. Robinson, B. Son, D. Kroos, L. Kroos, BMC Genomics 15:1123, 2014, http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-15-1123), the cAMP receptor protein (CRP)-like master regulator of development, we identified nine developmentally regulated genes as regulated by MrpC. In particular, MrpC directly represses the expression of
