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

Two-component systems (TCSs), the primary communication pathways in bacteria, are comprised of two proteins: a signal-sensing histidine kinase (HK) and an output-generating response regulator (RR). Classically, individual TCSs have been viewed as simple input-output systems, in which signal propagate via phosphorylation from the HK to the cognate RR, the latter triggering downstream functions. Emerging evidence suggests that TCSs can also operate through intricate networks, collectively sensing multiple inputs and generating fine-tuned, concerted, diversified, and complex outputs, modulated by several factors such as TCS-dependent cross-talk, additional layers of posttranslational modifications, external protein-based signalling input or adaptor molecules, and small RNAs. In this review, using evidence from mycobacterial TCSs, we discuss how TCSs can function as multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) hubs, thereby serving as signal integration and dispersion units to generate complex adaptive responses tuned by many modulating factors. We also discuss how the MIMO landscape of TCSs drives bacterial adaptation and presents potential strategies for therapeutic intervention.
