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

The regulation of carbon metabolism and virulence is critical for the rapid adaptation of pathogenic bacteria to host conditions. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, RccR is a transcriptional regulator of genes involved in primary carbon metabolism and is associated with bacterial resistance and virulence, although the exact mechanism is unclear. Our study demonstrates that PaRccR is a direct repressor of the transcriptional regulator genes mvaU and algU. Biochemical and structural analyses reveal that PaRccR can switch its DNA recognition mode through conformational changes triggered by KDPG binding or release. Mutagenesis and functional analysis underscore the significance of allosteric communication between the SIS domain and the DBD domain. Our findings suggest that, despite its overall structural similarity to other bacterial RpiR-type regulators, RccR displays a more complex regulatory element binding mode induced by ligands and a unique regulatory mechanism.
