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

A chemotaxis gene cluster from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum centenum has been cloned, sequenced, and analyzed for the control of transcription during swimmer-to-swarm cell differentiation. The first gene of the operon (cheAY) codes for a large 108-kDa polypeptide with an amino-terminal domain that is homologous to CheA and a carboxyl terminus that is homologous to CheY. cheAY is followed by cheW, an additional homolog of cheY, cheB, and cheR. Sequence analysis indicated that all of the che genes are tightly compacted with the same transcriptional polarity, suggesting that they are organized in an operon. Cotranscription of the che genes was confirmed by demonstrating through Western blot analysis that insertion of a polar spectinomycin resistance gene in cheAY results in loss of cheR expression. The promoter for the che operon was mapped by primer extension analysis as well as by the construction of promoter reporter plasmids that include several deletion intervals. This analysis indicated that the R. centenum che operon utilizes two promoters; one exhibits a sigma 70-like sequence motif, and the other exhibits a sigma 54-like motif. Expression of the che operon is shown to be relatively constant for swimmer cells which contain a single flagellum and for swarm cells that contain multiple lateral flagella.
