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

Bacterial cytidylate kinase or cytidine monophosphate kinase (CMP kinase) catalyses the phosphoryl transfer from ATP to CMP and dCMP, resulting in the formation nucleoside diphosphates. In eukaryotes, CMP/UMP kinase catalyses the conversion of UMP and CMP to, respectively, UDP and CDP with high efficiency. This work describes for the first time a model of bacterial cytidylate kinase or cytidine monophosphate kinase (CMP kinase) from mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtCMPK). We modeled MtPCMPK in apo form and in complex with cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP) to try to determine the structural basis for specificity. Comparative analysis of the model of MtCMPK allowed identification of structural features responsible for ligand affinities. Analysis of the molecular dynamics simulations of these two systems indicates the structural features responsible for the stability of the structure, and may help in the identification of new inhibitors for this enzyme.
