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

YggS (COG0325 family) was widely conserved across the three domains of life and had been implicated in pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) homeostasis. However, transcriptional regulators that directly controlled IMPORTANCE: Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the main catalytically active form of vitamin B6, was an essential cofactor for many enzymes, particularly those involved in amino acid metabolism. PLP deficiency could impair the activity of PLP-dependent enzymes and disrupt cellular metabolism, whereas excessive accumulation of free PLP could also cause metabolic imbalance. YggS-family proteins were widely conserved PLP homeostasis factors, yet how their expression was regulated had remained largely unknown. Here, we identified PhpR as a previously uncharacterized MocR-family transcriptional regulator that directly repressed the expression of YggS in
