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

Microbial secondary metabolites (SMs) serve as the main source of natural antibiotics. Bioinformatics analyses reveal that multiple secondary metabolites biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) exist in the genomes of fungi and bacteria but the vast majority remains silent due to the control of intricate regulatory networks. An in-depth comprehension of these regulatory processes is required for the activation of cryptic gene clusters. Among them, the regulations at the proteomic level originating from epigenetic modifications and their correlations with secondary metabolite biosynthesis have gained increasing interest recently, especially the modifications on bacterial nucleoid-associated proteins. This article highlights the recent advances and important roles of bacterial nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) in the biosynthesis of SMs. Developing new tools around NAPs would be significant for the discovery of novel bioactive compounds in microbial resources.
