The glycosyltransferase gene encoding the enzyme catalyzing the first step of mycothiol biosynthesis (mshA).
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers.
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.
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
Mycothiol is the major thiol present in most actinomycetes and is produced from the pseudodisaccharide 1D-myo-inosityl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (GlcNAc-Ins). A transposon mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis shown to be GlcNAc-Ins and mycothiol deficient was sequenced to identify a putative glycosyltransferase gene designated mshA. The ortholog in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Rv0486, was used to complement the mutant phenotype.
