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

Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a widespread environmental Gram-positive bacterium that can transition into a pathogen following ingestion by a susceptible host. To cross host barriers and establish infection, Lm is dependent upon the regulated secretion and activity of many proteins including PrsA2, a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase with foldase activity. PrsA2 contributes to the stability and activity of a number of secreted virulence factors that are required for Lm invasion, replication, and cell-to-cell spread within the infected host. In contrast, a second related secretion chaperone, PrsA1, has thus far no identified contributions to Lm pathogenesis. Here we describe the characterization of a two-component signal transduction system PieRS that regulates the expression of a regulon that includes the secretion chaperones PrsA1 and PrsA2. PieRS regulated gene products are required for bacterial resistance to ethanol exposure and are important for bacterial survival during transit through the gastrointestinal tract. PrsA1 was also found to make a unique contribution to Lm survival in the GI tract, revealing for the first time a non-overlapping requirement for both secretion chaperones PrsA1 and PrsA2 during the process of intra-gastric infection.
