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

Di-myo-inositol 1,1'-phosphate (DIP) is a major osmoprotecting metabolite in a number of hyperthermophilic species of archaea and bacteria. Although the DIP biosynthesis pathway was previously proposed, genes encoding only two of the four required enzymes, inositol-1-phosphate synthase and inositol monophosphatase, were identified. In this study we used a comparative genomic analysis to predict two additional genes of this pathway (termed dipA and dipB) that remained missing. In Thermotoga maritima both candidate genes (in an originally misannotated locus TM1418) form an operon with the inositol-1-phosphate synthase encoding gene (TM1419). A predicted inositol-mono-phosphate cytidylyltransferase activity was directly confirmed for the purified product of T. maritima gene dipA cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The entire DIP pathway was reconstituted in E. coli by cloning of the TM1418-TM1419 operon in pBAD expression vector and confirmed to function in the crude lysate. (31)P NMR and MS analysis revealed that DIP synthesis proceeds via a phosphorylated DIP intermediate, P-DIP, which is generated by the dipB-encoded enzyme, now termed P-DIP synthase. This previously unknown intermediate is apparently converted to the final product, DIP, by an inositol monophosphatase-like phosphatase. These findings allowed us to revise the previously proposed DIP pathway. The genomic survey confirmed its presence in the species known to use DIP for osmoprotection. Among several newly identified species with a postulated DIP pathway, Aeropyrum pernix was directly proven to produce this osmolyte.
