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

Autotrophic growth of Xanthobacter flavus is dependent on the fixation of carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle and on the oxidation of simple organic and inorganic compounds to provide the cell with energy. Maximal induction of the cbb and gap-pgk operons encoding enzymes of the Calvin cycle occurs in the absence of multicarbon substrates and the presence of methanol, formate, hydrogen, or thiosulfate. The LysR-type transcriptional regulator CbbR regulates the expression of the cbb and gap-pgk operons, but it is unknown to what cellular signal CbbR responds. In order to study the effects of low-molecular-weight compounds on the DNA-binding characteristics of CbbR, the protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and subsequently purified to homogeneity. CbbR of X. flavus is a dimer of 36-kDa subunits. DNA-binding assays suggested that two CbbR molecules bind to a 51-bp DNA fragment on which two inverted repeats containing the LysR motif are located. The addition of 200 microM NADPH, but not NADH, resulted in a threefold increase in DNA binding. The apparent K(dNADPH) of CbbR was determined to be 75 microM. By using circular permutated DNA fragments, it was shown that CbbR introduces a 64 degree bend in the DNA. The presence of NADPH in the DNA-bending assay resulted in a relaxation of the DNA bend by 9 degree. From the results of these in vitro experiments, we conclude that CbbR responds to NADPH. The in vivo regulation of the cbb and gap-pgk operons may therefore be regulated by the intracellular concentration of NADPH.
