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

In Salmonella enterica, the biosynthetic pathways for the generation of purines and the essential cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate branch after sharing five enzymatic steps. Phosphoribosyl amine (PRA) is the first intermediate in the common portion of the pathway and is generated from phosphoribosylpyrophosphate and glutamine by the PurF enzyme (phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase). A null mutation in yjgF allows PurF-independent PRA formation by an unknown mechanism. The tryptophan biosynthetic enzyme complex anthranilate synthase-phosphoribosyltransferase, composed of the TrpD and TrpE proteins, was shown to be essential for PRA formation in strains lacking both yjgF and purF. The activity generating PRA in a yjgF mutant background has features that distinguish it from the TrpDE-mediated PRA formation shown previously for this enzyme in strains with an active copy of yjgF. The data presented here are consistent with a model in which the absence of YjgF uncovers a new catalytic activity of TrpDE.
