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

Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) are cytosolic enzymes that catalyze the transfer of the acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) to the free amino group of arylamines and hydrazines. Previous studies have reported that overexpression of NAT from Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be responsible for increased resistance to the front-line antitubercular drug, isoniazid, by acetylating and hence inactivating the prodrug. We report the kinetic characterization of M. tuberculosis NAT which reveals that substituted anilines are excellent substrates but that isoniazid is a very poor substrate for this enzyme. We propose that the expression of NAT from M. tuberculosis (TBNAT) is unlikely to be a significant cause of isoniazid resistance. The kinetic parameters for a variety of TBNAT substrates were examined, including 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and AcCoA, revealing K m values of 0.32 +/- 0.03 and 0.14 +/- 0.02 mM, respectively. Steady-state kinetic analysis of TBNAT reveals that the enzyme catalyzes the reaction via a bi-bi ping-pong kinetic mechanism. The pH dependence of the kinetic parameters reveals that one enzyme group must be deprotonated for optimal catalytic activity and that two amino acid residues at the active site of the free enzyme are involved in binding and/or catalysis. Solvent kinetic isotope effects suggest that proton transfer steps are not rate-limiting in the overall reaction for substituted aniline substrates but become rate-limiting when poor hydrazide substrates are used.
