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

Sigma factors of the sigma70 family were used as a phylogenetic tool to compare evolutionary relationships among eubacteria. Several new sigma factor genes were cloned and sequenced to increase the variety of available sequences. Forty-two group 1 sigma factor sequences of various species were analyzed with the help of a distance matrix method to establish a phylogenetic tree. The tree derived by using sigma factors yielded subdivisions, including low-G+C and high-G+C gram-positive bacteria, cyanobacteria, and the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subdivisions of proteobacteria, consistent with major bacterial groups found in trees derived from analyses with other molecules. However, some groupings (e.g., the chlamydiae, mycoplasmas, and green sulfur bacteria) are found in different positions than for trees obtained by using other molecular markers. A direct comparison to the most extensively used molecule in systematic studies, small-subunit rRNA, was made by deriving trees from essentially the same species set and using similar phylogenetic methods. Differences and similarities based on the two markers are discussed. Additionally, 31 group 2 sigma factors were analyzed in combination with the group 1 proteins in order to detect functional groupings of these alternative sigma factors. The data suggest that promoters recognized by the major vegetative sigma factors of eubacteria will contain sequence motifs and spacing very similar to those for the sigma70 sigma factors of Escherichia coli.
