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

backgroundSalmonella Typhimurium (STM) is a gram-negative bacterium that causes severe gastrointestinal disorders in both animals and humans. The regulation of DNA repair genes is critical for maintaining genomic stability of the bacteria. O

methodsIn this study, narl gene was cloned in pET32a vector and NarL protein was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Subsequently, the ogt gene promoter (pogt) was selected, amplified, cloned and its activity was evaluated. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), molecular docking were employed to elucidate the interaction between NarL protein and ogt promoter. Furthermore, the regulatory role of NarL in ogt gene expression was validated in vivo using RT-qPCR and β-galactosidase assay.

resultsThis study resulted that NarL protein interacts specifically with the ogt promoter, as confirmed by EMSA and ITC, with ΔG of - 9.42 kcal mol⁻¹. Furthermore, RT-qPCR and β-galactosidase assays demonstrated that deletion of narl significantly (P ≤ 0.01) decreased ogt transcript levels and promoter activity than wild Salmonella Typhimurium, whereas exogenous supplementation of recombinant NarL protein restored the expression. These findings suggest that NarL plays a potential regulatory role in ogt gene expression in response to environmental signals.

conclusionThese findings highlight an interaction between NarL protein and the promoter region of ogt gene in Salmonella Typhimurium, linking nitrogen metabolism with the DNA repair pathway in STM, which may contribute to the bacterial survival under nitrosative stress.
