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

In deep-sea hydrothermal vents, sulfur compounds are central for microbial bioenergetics. Despite its significant impact on the global sulfur cycle, anaerobic sulfur compound disproportionation remains the least understood metabolism, with only three bacterial strains having been investigated at the proteomic level for their sulfur disproportionation metabolism to date. Here, we present a comparative proteomics study of the chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-cycling species Dissulfuribacter thermophilus S69ᵀ. Upon thiosulfate disproportionation conditions, proteomics revealed a high abundance of a cytoplasmic thiosulfate reductase AB homologue (PhsAB-like) that might reductively cleave thiosulfate into sulfide and sulfite. Subsequent steps might involve enzymes from the dissimilatory sulfate reduction, with Apr and Sat potentially functioning in reverse to produce sulfate. Strain S69
