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

By using random mutagenesis and enrichment by chemostat culturing, we have developed mutants of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum that were unable to grow under hydrogen-deprived conditions. Physiological characterization showed that these mutants had poorer growth rates and growth yields than the wild-type strain. The mRNA levels of several key enzymes were lower than those in the wild-type strain. A fed-batch study showed that the expression levels were related to the hydrogen supply. In one mutant strain, expression of both methyl coenzyme M reductase isoenzyme I and coenzyme F420-dependent 5,10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin dehydrogenase was impaired. The strain was also unable to form factor F390, lending support to the hypothesis that the factor functions in regulation of methanogenesis in response to changes in the availability of hydrogen.
