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

The YjgF/YER057c/UK114 family is a highly conserved class of proteins that is represented in the three domains of life. Thus far, a biochemical function demonstrated for these proteins in vivo or in vitro has yet to be defined. In several organisms, strains lacking a YjgF homolog have a defect in branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis. This study probes the connection between yjgF and isoleucine biosynthesis in Salmonella enterica. In strains lacking yjgF the specific activity of transaminase B, catalyzing the last step in the synthesis of isoleucine, was reduced. In the absence of yjgF, transaminase B activity could be restored by inhibiting threonine deaminase, the first enzymatic step in isoleucine biosynthesis. Strains lacking yjgF showed an increased sensitivity to sulfometruron methyl, a potent inhibitor of acetolactate synthase. Based on work described here and structural reports in the literature, we suggest a working model in which YjgF has a role in protecting the cell from toxic effects of imbalanced ketoacid pools.
