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

Gene redundancy endows bacteria with enhanced adaptability to complex and fluctuating environments but results in genetic costs. Transcriptional regulation is considered an effective strategy for harmonizing adaptive benefits with physiological burdens. In our previous study, two redundant gene clusters (phbh1pcaApcaBorf404bhbR1 and phbh2pcaB2pcaA2bhbR2) involved in 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzoate (3-Br-4-HB) catabolism were identified in IMPORTANCE: In bacteria, catabolic genes for pollutant degradation often possess functionally redundant duplicates, providing a genetic basis for rapid adaptation to complex polluted environments. Synergic regulation plays an important role in balancing the physiological burden of extra genetic material with the adaptive benefits conferred by genetic redundancy. Although the co-existence of two redundant 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzoate (3-Br-4-HB)-catabolic operons has been proven to enhance the metabolic robustness and adaptability of the host strain
