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

Arsenite [As(III)] is a toxic substance widely present on Earth, and the development of low-cost and simple microbial-based As(III) sensors has been attracting attention. Recently, we discovered that the protein LuxR, which contains multiple cysteine residues with high affinity for As(III), forms an insoluble structure upon binding to As(III) and exhibits OFF-switching properties as a quorum sensing transcriptional activator. Based on this property, the LuxR sensor operates on a new principle distinct from conventional whole-cell As(III) sensors; however, its sensitivity remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to improve the sensitivity of the whole-cell OFF-type As(III) sensor by increasing the frequency of intracellular interactions between the sensor protein and As(III). We utilized the super-repressor properties of ArsR, a transcriptional repressor of the As(III)-metabolizing
