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

The beta1,2-rhamnosyltransferase WsaF is involved in the biosynthesis of a polyrhamnan chain which is attached to the surface-layer protein from Geobacillus stearothermophilus NRS 2004/3a. The enzyme belongs to the large retaining GT4 family. To date, no structure of a rhamnosyltransferase has been published. Recombinant purified native WsaF has been crystallized, resulting in crystals that belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell parameters a = 50.5, b = 56.1, c = 276.8 A and diffracted to 3.0 A resolution. Selenomethionine-variant WsaF crystallized in space group P2(1) with unit-cell parameters a = 75.9, b = 75.5, c = 78.1 A and diffracted to 2.3 A resolution.
