Sucrose synthase is involved in the conversion of sucrose to polysaccharides in filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria.

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
Higher plants and cyanobacteria metabolize sucrose (Suc) by a similar set of enzymes. Suc synthase (SuS, UDP-glucose: D: -fructose 2-alpha-D: -glucosyl transferase, EC 2.4.1.13) catalyses the synthesis and cleavage of Suc, and in higher plants, it plays an important role in polysaccharides biosynthesis and carbon allocation. In this work, we have studied the functional relationship between SuS and the metabolism of polysaccharides in filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. We show that the nitrogen and carbon sources and light regulate the expression of the SuS encoding gene (susA), in a similar way that they regulate the accumulation of polysaccharides. Furthermore, glycogen content in an Anabaena sp. mutant strain with an insertion inactivation of susA was lower than in the wild type strain under diazotrophic conditions, while both glycogen and polysaccharides levels were higher in a mutant strain constitutively overexpressing susA. We also show that there are soluble and membrane-bound forms of SuS in Anabaena. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that SuS is involved in the Suc to polysaccharides conversion according to nutritional and environmental signals in filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria.
