Nitrogen metabolism of the highly ureolytic bacterium Proteus penneri S99 isolated from the rumen.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe model rumen-dominant ureolytic bacterium P. penneri S99 exhibits high urease activity. It was cultivated using ammonia, urea, amino acids, or their combination as nitrogen sources. To identify differences in gene expression, the transcript abundances of various genes involved in nitrogen metabolism were analyzed by harvesting mRNA from cells during the exponential growth phases on different nitrogen sources.
resultsP. penneri S99 can utilize ammonia, urea, or amino acids as the sole nitrogen sources for growth and shows a preference for utilizing urea. It exhibits similar growth rates and maximum biomass on ammonia and urea, but showed higher growth rates and maximum biomass on amino acids. Transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed different transcription patterns in response to different nitrogen sources. The urease gene expression was detected in all three different nitrogen sources, and complete hydrolysis of urea was also observed when other nitrogen sources were added to the medium containing urea. The regulation of urease in P. penneri S99 was characterized by constitutive expression, not by urea. The growth of P. penneri S99 on ammonia, ammonium acid, and urea was similar, with the only observed difference being an increase in urease transcript abundance.
conclusionsThe transcription patterns of nitrogen metabolism genes offer insights into how nitrogen is utilized in the rumen.
