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

Stress response in bacterial pathogens promotes adaptation, virulence and antibiotic resistance. In this study, a network approach is applied to identify the common central mediators of stress response in five emerging opportunistic pathogens; Enterococcus faecium Aus0004, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus USA300, Klebsiella pneumoniae MGH 78,578, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. A Protein-protein interaction network (PPIN) was constructed for each stressor using Cytoscape3.7.1 from the differentially expressed genes obtained from Gene expression omnibus datasets. A merged PPIN was constructed for each bacterium. Hub-bottlenecks in each network were the central stress response proteins and common pathways enriched in stress response were identified using KOBAS3.0. 31 hub-bottlenecks were common to each individual stress response, merged networks in all five pathogens and an independent cross stress (CS) response dataset of Escherichia coli. The 31 central nodes are in the RpoS mediated general stress regulon and also regulated by other stress response systems. Analysis of the 20 common metabolic pathways modulating stress response in all five bacteria showed that carbon metabolism pathway had the highest crosstalk with other pathways like amino acid biosynthesis and purine metabolism pathways. The central proteins identified can serve as targets for novel wide-spectrum antibiotics to overcome multidrug resistance.
