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

Overproduction of the exopolysaccharide alginate contributes to the pathogenicity and antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic infections. The second messenger, c-di-GMP, is a positive regulator of the production of various biofilm matrix components and is known to regulate alginate synthesis at the posttranslational level in P. aeruginosa. We provide evidence that c-di-GMP also regulates transcription of the alginate operon in P. aeruginosa. Previous work has shown that transcription of the alginate operon is regulated by nine different proteins, AmrZ, AlgP, IHFα, IHFβ, CysB, Vfr, AlgR, AlgB, and AlgQ, and we investigated if some of these proteins function as a c-di-GMP effector. We found that deletion of
