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

An enzyme with sarcosine dimethylglycine methyltransferase (SDMT) activity has been identified in the thermophilic eukaryote, Galdieria sulphuraria. The crystal structure of the enzyme, solved to a resolution of 1.95 A, revealed a fold highly similar to that of mycolic acid synthases. The kcat and apparent K(M) values were 64.3 min(-1) and 2.0 mM for sarcosine and 85.6 min(-1) and 2.8 mM for dimethylglycine, respectively. Apparent K(M) values of S-adenosylmethionine were 144 and 150 microM for sarcosine and dimethylglycine, respectively, and the enzyme melting temperature was 61.1 degrees C. Modeling of cofactor binding in the active site based on the structure of methoxy mycolic acid synthase 2 revealed a number of conserved interactions within the active site.
